Aria Operations adapter for Tanzu Mission Control (TMC) stops collecting

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

• In September 2024, cloud services in the VMware Tanzu portfolio transitioned away from VMware Cloud Service to the VMware Tanzu Platform, and customers now access VMware Tanzu cloud services at https://console.tanzu.broadcom.com going forward. 
• See Transition VMware Tanzu Cloud Services to VMware Tanzu Platform Console for more details.
• The Tanzu Mission Control adapter which is a component of the Management Pack for Kubernetes will not collect metrics.
  • Editing and testing the adapter results in the following error.
    • Unable to connect https://console.cloud.vmware.com response: 400

Environment

Aria Operations 8.x

Resolution

• A resolution is expected in an updated version of the Kubernetes management pack
• To workaround the issue:

  1. SSH as root to the node that the adapter is configured to run on

  2. Change directory and then take a backup of the adapter's configuration file

cd /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/user/plugins/inbound/TMCAdapter/conf/

cp tmc_collection.properties tmc_collection.properties.bkup

     3. Using a text editor such as vi, edit the tmc_collection.properties file

 

Locate the CSP_URL

Example: CSP_URL=https://console.cloud.vmware.com/csp/gateway/am/api/auth/api-tokens/authorize?refresh_token=

              4. Edit the CSP_URL, changing console.cloud.vmware.com to console.tanzu.broadcom.com. 

Example: CSP_URL=https://console.tanzu.broadcom.com/csp/gateway/am/api/auth/api-tokens/authorize?refresh_token=

             5. Save the changes to file

             6. Stop and start the collection on the Tanzu Mission Control adapter under Integrations in the Aria Operations product UI
