Bug report: Authentication

AD Integration

we need to use AD, specifically AD groups, to manage access to loginsight, and we need it to be a secure connection.

For us, the best integration would be to have these LDAP connection settings:

- Host & Port

- SSL enabled

- Bind DN & Bind DN Password

- User base DN

- Group base DN (Use Nested groups)


I tried to configure AD based on LogInsight 1.5 beta documentation and use secure ldap protocol

Document: log-insight-15-administration-guide.pdf

small typo - /usr/lib/loginisight/application/etc/loginsight-config-base.xml

should be - /usr/lib/loginisight/etc/application/loginsight-config-base.xml


Issue 1

"LogInsight EMS Admins" - group in AD

  • Adding AD group does not work – SOME users in that AD group are not able access loginsight...
    • we have more than 1 domain: corp.emc.com; eng.emc.com... some users have UPN suffix that is simply "@emc.com"
    • we use service account to bind to AD, it is in corp.emc.com domain


1. change config:

add <ad-protocols value="LDAPS" /> For specifically using LDAP with SSL only

- how to verify it uses ldaps? is it really ldaps?

 

2. service loginsight restart

 

Issue 2 (known - ESX stopped sending the data)

3. Lost the data

The host "loginsight:514" has become unreachable.  Remote logging to this host has stopped.

 

4. Administration -> Integration -> vSphere

ESXi hosts configured to send logs to Log Insight

click "View ESXi syslog configuration details..."

Verify list of "Configured" ESXi hosts, select them and "Configure Selected" again

- is it possible to "automate" this when there is a need to restart LogInsight?

 

5. the data is back– need to verify if we have double entries in ESX logging section

 

Thanks,

ildus

Hi there

 

I ran into a problem after installing the Avamar Content Pack found at "vElemental ". Not saying it caused it but just pointing out where it happened. After the install all ESXi hosts stopped reporting. I've restarted the appliance and still the same All the views for vSphere shows "Unable to render chart" or "Connection to server was lost". the stats window shows incoming events but non of them displays.

 

Any ideas where to start looking?

 

Would like to complete my testing to justify the license expense.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

One of the environment i look after includes 15 vCenters, 760 Hosts, 10k VMs

 

Is it recommended to have 1 log insight instance per vCenter or 1 'big' instance to cover the whole environment.

 

what specs would you recommend for the 'big' instance, CPU, RAM, DISK SIZE, etc.

 

Thanks

 

John.

This error keeps showing up in my logs...vCenter can't get entity metrics?

January 14, 2014, 1:25 pm

Hi all, wondering if anyone has seen this before?  Google had 3 hits, but no answers as to what's causing it.

 

     "[VpxaHalStatsHostagent::GetStats] Did not get any entity metrics from the host."

 

I'm getting thousands of them everyday for each ESXi host.  From what I can tel, it simply means that vCenter was unable to retrieve some entity metrics at that time, but it does work sometimes.

 

I have Statistics Intervals set to:

 

Interval Duration     Save For          Statistics Level

5 Minutes               1 Day               2

30 Minutes              1 Week            2

2 Hours                   1 Month           1

1 Day                      1 Year             1

 

Any ideas?  Many thanks,

 

Jeff

Running log insight 1.0.4, fully licenced.

 

As of 14th Jan Log insight is showing no events at all from any of my vCenter servers.  log insight has been restarted, vm restarted, all vCentre tests and checks work fine, and there is plenty of disk space left.

 

Any ideas?  There doesn't seem to be much in the way of debugging information for these appliances.

Hello,

Does LogInsight have the functionality to search for an event X, and show all events for 5 seconds prior to that? 

e.g. looking for common events prior to occurrences of X (what is causing X)
