Issue/Introduction

Scheduled reports failing intermittently.

Restart of the cluster resolves the issue initially but fails again with a few days.

Environment

VCF Operations 9.0.x 

Resolution

To workaround the issue set the Headless Chrome(not the browser) option for keep-alive.

1. Log into each node as root.
2. Navigate to the the directory:  

   cd /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/user/conf/web

3. Edit the file: 

   vi chrome.options

4. Change the configuration to 1 for keep-alive: 

   keep-alive=1

5. Save and quit the file: 

   :wq

6. From the Admin UI, restart the cluster by click "Take cluster offline".
7. Once the cluster is offline click "Take cluster online".
