The bosh-health deployment is not created as expected by the pas-exporter in the VMware Tanzu Cloud Foundry environment.

Products

• VMware Tanzu Platform - Cloud Foundry
• VMware Tanzu Application Platform
• VMware Tanzu Application Service

Issue/Introduction

bosh-health deployment is created every 10 minutes and deleted by the p-healthwatch2-pas-exporter  deployment, if you face any issues like the VM health is not populated on the Healthwatch dashboards you can check the bosh recent tasks or check the logs under /var/vcap/sys/log/bosh-health-exporter in the bosh-health-exporter VM part of the p-healthwatch2-pas-exporter deployment

Cause

This issue occurs because the bosh-health-exporter virtual machine (VM), which is a component of the pas-exporter deployment, is missing. This typically happens if the instance count for this specific job is set to zero in the configuration.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, you must ensure the bosh-health-exporter VM is deployed by updating its instance count:

1. Log in to the Ops Manager and navigate to the Resource Config section of the pas-exporter tile.
2. Locate the bosh-health-exporter job.
3. Check the Instances column. If it is set to 0, change the value to 1.
4. Click Save and then navigate back to the Installation Dashboard.
5. Click Review Pending Changes and then Apply Changes.
