LogInsight 4.5 fails to install on Vsphere 6.5 latest version
Just tried installing LogInsight 4.5 onto a vSphere 6.5 host (patched to latest build). The install fails - error message relates to fschk of sda2 disk. The same OVA installs fine on vSphere 6.0. Is this a known bug? Any advice very welcome.

vRLI and webhook alerts
All I am new this so help is appreciated
We have vRLI setup to send alerts to a webhook shim server. The shim server has and endpoint configured and forwarding on modified payloads to our upstream service
This is working well for our vrops alerting but there are some event based alerts that we want to setup for auditing in our upstream service. some of which vrops cant alert on so we set up vrli to alert through to vrops which in turn sent the rest payload to the SHIM but vrops does not seem to pass on any of the description or recommendations for Notification alerts so i get an audit event on the object in the up stream service but no data as to what it is.
I then setup a new endpoint for vrli and sent the alert directly from vrli to the SHIM server. This sends the description but i cant seem to find the source in the payload that the SHIM receives
Below is the log of the SHIM ( this is a simple event for SSH being enabled on a host for testing) as you can see there is no host name listed. I change the host name to colour in the py script just to get it to forward out of the SHIM and not error out

Log Insight enhancements
Hey,
Where does a person submit a request for an enhancement to Log Insight? I used to utilize the site at VMware Log Insight | Recent The site appears to not be accepting new requests or votes on existing enhancements.
Or has the process changed to submitting a ticket to VMWare support?
Unique count of hostname as a single value - export list?
I have LI version 4.3 installed. I have an interactive search where I want to see the unique count of hostname as a single value. I get the metric, and this is good! Is there a way to export the list of hostnames that determine the metric?
Can't Login
I deployed the ova template...

Is liagentd supposed to run on the vRLI server itself?
I've got vRLI v4.5.1 installed and I see that the agent is set to run automatically on the server itself:
# chkconfig --list liagentd liagentd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off
Is it suppsed to? It seems to not be configured properly:

I know I could configure /var/lib/loginsight-agent/liagent.ini and set a correct hostname in the server section (or hack hosts file and point loginsight to localhost or server IP), but unless it's supposed to use it's own agent to log to it's database, I'd wait. Maybe the agent should be stopped?
Anyone?

LogInsight DNS queries - How to minimize?
Hi all,
Loginsight Appliance 4.5 is generating a large number of DNS queries. Is it possible to disable IPv6 Queries or VM queries for example or change the way it caches DNS queries? Any idea?
Best regards

Unique count of hostname as single value varies day to day
I have 20K hosts that I am trying to validate logging in Log Insight. On Friday, I ran a query in version 4.3 of Log Insight for "unique count of hostname as a single value" for the time period 2017-11-14 00:00:00.000 to 2017-12-14 15:54:16.053. The count was 8627. I run this same query today for the same time period and see a value of 7650. On both runs, I see a small alert triangle noting "Results may be inaccurate because some groups have too many distinct values."
Is this the root cause of the reported differences? No data has aged out of the cluster during this time period (per the email notifications that I would receive on dast aging).
Disconnected cfapi vRLI Agent alerts?
So I have these cfapi vRLI agents which are randomly disconnecting from vRLI and I need to generate an alert when they end up in a state of "disconnected"...
I was thinking this would be a straight forward and simple thing to do but I for the life of me cant find a way to do it!
does anyone have a solution?
Cheers

Configuring vIDM via API
I've been working through creating workflows of what I'm going to call "routine configurations" that a person does when standing up a new Log Insight instance/cluster (tested on 4.5.1), but when I try and go and create the API call to establish vIDM configuration... the API is returning an error related to the self-signed certificate from vIDM.... which is, to put it mildly, highly annoying. My request looks like this (sanitized):
`
curl --request POST \
--url https://<li-host>:9543/api/v1/vidm \
--header 'authorization: Bearer SEUrE+BeXqIOGWE7Mzwza+WC8VD0yzojqHg6NTcy42UOB2NqLa2NI9ROHIQulAX1H93HH4K92neE7XLBYm4cNcxGkzJnA2V6Wpwx93bGslkM7FNBXCkZfAV/JpRkUxEvWmx98kxxZczsu5g6xiruID2jzbAwrPnF9ap5xDCIcaxyvX495uH0n7pYFp6wFGuOgi0gqfd2+BbXRtJe2A2/qisazkWsNrp7mJ7SDkw1OVSGruuAokH65QRPAjdN8c//vomgTRGS4WBzCkkT+Sl/jw==' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--cookie JSESSIONID=51A9140CD5C6590958C0295E6A8B4263 \
--data '{
"acceptCert" : true,
"enabled": true,
"hostname": "<vidm-fqdn>",
"port": "443",
"tenant": "vsphere.local",
"redirectURL": "<li-vip>",
"username": "admin@vsphere.local",
"password": "<password>"
}'
And the response I'm getting from the API is:
{ "errorMessage": "VMware Identity Manager provided custom CA certificate. Unable to make SSL connection.", "errorCode": "VIDM_ERROR", "errorDetails": { "errorCode": "com.vmware.loginsight.api.providers.vidm.custom_ca_certificate" } }
Anybody have any ideas why it would work in the UI (where I can review the SSL cert and accept), but not via the API? Is there something possibly missing from the API docs around a query parameter to force acceptance of the cert? I'd think the "acceptCert" parameter would do that in the JSON body, but well.........
