Issue/Introduction

  • Trying to view LB logs under All Edge gateways -> EDGE -> Virtual services -> LB -> logs, gives an error [ uuid ] class com.vmware.vcloud.common.network.NsxAlbApiException

  • Issue is observed for all L7 Load balancers, issue does not impact L4 Load balancers.
  • NSX ALB version in use is 31.1.1-x and above.

Environment

  • VMware Cloud Director 10.6.x
  • VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (Formerly known as VMware Avi Load Balancer)

Cause

The API call used by VMware Cloud Director to fetch the logs uses a default date range for 10 years duration, however starting NSX ALB 31.1.1-x the API was enforced to support maximum of 1 year duration to limit the amount of data indexed in OpenSearch.

Resolution

This will be fixed an a future patch of VMware Cloud Director.
