Log Insight Extension for Arista

$
0
0

Hi All,

 

I am working on configuring the Arista monitoring in Log Insight and Arista Log Insight extension needs to be installed on switches to fully leverage the content pack for Arista as per the content pack instructions. Does anyone know where can I get the extension. I tried to check with the Arista TAM as well but according to them Log Insight Extension is no longer being actively developed.


[vCenter 6.7u3] Analysing SIOC Activity Events with Log Insight

$
0
0

Hello,

I want to look up, when Storage I/O Control started to throttle IOps on hosts in an ESXi Cluster.

For that I analyse the storageRM logfile and I think I found the correct events, here is an example:

2020-01-08T12:14:24Z hostfqdn.local storageRM[2100418]: Throttling anomaly VOB for naa.id: 59, 0.203814

 

Can someone please tell me, for what the red marked values that are named right after the naa id are representing. At first I thought the first value ist the set maximum queue depth, however it sometimes it reaches value that are much lower (example: 3, 0.00112019) than what is shown in the performance metrix in the vsphere client, sometimes the value is much higher than the possible queue depth of 64 on the adapter (example: 168, 0.203217).

Does SIOC set a larger Queue Depth per LUN or Host, than the defautl maximum of 64? How are those value calculated?

Hi everyone. I need to configure an alert when specific users reboot / shutdown / power off a VM or make any virtual hardware changes to virtual machines.

 

Do you have any idea of how to do it?

 

Notes: Log insight 4.5.1

Can't install VMware - vSphere 8.0 Content Pack...

$

0

Hi,

 

I just took a look on the Content Pack Marketplace of our Log Insight environment. It mentioned 4 updates available, so I upgraded the VMware NSX vsphere, VMware -vSAN and VMware vRops 6.7+ content packs successfully, the upgrade of the VMware -vSpere 8.0 content pack was not succesful. The GUI throw this error:

 

failed.jpg

 

I uninstalled the previous Content Pack v4.6 we used and made a second attempt. Unfortunately the same result. Has anyone a solution for this problem?

Use provided timestamp as event time

$
0
0

Hello,

 

I'm sending logs to logInsight and want the event time to use the provided timestamp.

Example :

timestamp=22-01-2020 15:12:53;template=;dataid=StoreHeader:storeId:11708

timestamp=22-01-2020 15:12:53;template=;dataid=StoreHeader:storeId:11101

 

The parsing is correct but the event time does not use the provided timestamp but the time when the log data is processed by the agent..

 

 

What's the correct way to have LogInsigh using the provided timestamp ?

 

Used parser:

 

[parser|CacheivlParser]

base_parser=kvp

fields=*

delimiter=";"

debug=yes

field_decoder={"timestamp": "TableSize_tsp_parser"}

 

[parser|TableSize_tsp_parser]

base_parser=timestamp

debug=no

format=%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S

Log insight with vRealize Automation business groups or tenant

$

Hello,

we use vRealize Automation with business group as a multi-tenancy environment, we want bg's users to only access their logs on the LogInsight appliance. Can anyone point me to the correct documentation?

Is it the best way to have a centralized log insight for all tenants / business groups or to have a dedicated log insight for each of them?

Log Insight and AD authentication

$
0
0

Hi,

 

From mars 2020 MS will change their default settings in AD when it comes to AD authentication with simple binding and ldap signing.

As of today our log insight system uses either simple binding or ldap without signing i guess since i get this message if i check the logs

 

The following client performed a SASL (Negotiate/Kerberos/NTLM/Digest) LDAP bind without requesting signing (integrity verification), or performed a simple bind over a clear text (non-SSL/TLS-encrypted) LDAP connection.

Client IP address:

x.x.x.48:52488

Identity the client attempted to authenticate as:

domain\serviceaccount

Binding Type:0

 

I have checked around and I cannot see that Log Insight supports ldap with signing so to me it seems like I have to configure LDAPS (LDAP over SSL / LDAP over TLS).

I don`t have much knowledge when it comes to certificates / PKI, but to my understanding I have to install a PKI solution.

This is a .local domain, so we cannot get a certificate from a 3 part, and its also a "closed" environment.

 

So my question is, do i need to implement a complete PKI solution (root ca+issuing ca) or is there some other manual way ?

 

The same thing goes for vCenter it seems.

 

 

Any comments ? How is your configuration ?

 

/regards

loginsight configure SSO authentication with VMWare Identity Mgr is not working

$

0

We are trying to configure SSO authentication with VMWare Identity Mgr. We are getting incorrect username and password error but we are sure that username and password is correct as we tried it directly on VIDM. We even tried VIDM admin username and password too.

The only issue we can think off is the configuration is pre-populating a private IP as "Redirect URL Host"/

 


Login events in Log Insight with RBAC

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I need to create a multi tenancy vRA environment and I am requested to set up RBAC in Log Insight to give access to tenant admins to relevant logs.

I installed and configured vRA 7.5+ Content Pack to ingest vRA logs.

 

I am able to create a data set using the "tenant" filter, but it seems that events related to user login to vRA do not contain this attribute. They can be filtered with an extracted field "tenant_name" instead, but it seems it is not possible to use an extracted field to create a data set.

 

If I use a data set filtered by tenant, some events like this are present:

 

[UTC:2020-02-11 11:21:16,595 Local:2020-02-11 11:21:16,595] vcac: [component="cafe:identity" priority="INFO" thread="tomcat-http--83" tenant="MYTENANT" context="CuIX9nPB" parent="" token="CuIX9nPB"] com.vmware.vcac.core.identity.service.impl.LocalCafeMembershipProvider.findMembershipForPrincipals:282 - Loading user info for current user '{Name: MYUSER, Domain: vsphere.local}'...

 

These seem related to user logon activities, but they cannot catch logon failures.

 

Is there a way to create data sets containing logon activity grouped by tenant?

 

Thank you,

Mirko

Unsuccessful Loginsight OVA deployment

$

0

This is my first post so .. Hi All,

 

In my home lab I grabbed an evaluation copy of VMware ESXi, I had to use 6.0.0 as 6.7 wasn't compatible with my older CPU.

 

It's a HP PROLIANT Micro-server G7 - AMD Turion II Neo N54l Processor.

 

I enabled the UI and imported the latest Loginsight OVA but I don't get the option to reduce the size to extra small for my home lab.

 

left it as default for everything to my address from from DHCP.

 

I do not get get the expect display with the URL etc on the console once booted. I can use WindowsKey+alt+f1 to geta login prompt, and with rpoot + vmware as a password I can get into the vm  and set a new root password.

 

Netstat tell me that nothing is listening on 80 or 443, so my setup wizard isn't running.

 

Any ideas please folks ?

 

 

Cheers

Hi!

 

I have a vmware vcenter essentials plus license, I want to deploy vmware Insight. I've read that I dont need to purchase a license for the Insight if I need below 25-OSI, but I've tried to add the vmware vcenter plus license number to the Log Insight and does not work. Any idea?

 

Thanks!

Log Insight REST API

vRealize Log Insight 8 very slow

$

0

We have a six node Log Insight 8 cluster. with 6 nodes. All the nodes are configured as large and the ingestion rate is below 15,000 which is what is ok for these nodes

I have also ran some checks on the nodes for corrupt buckets

I have switched off the 1 alert we have just to see what the issue is

The problem is that simple queries grind to a halt to the point that it becomes unusable

I have checked the cluster nodes in vRops and cannot see evidence of hardware issues

Does anyone know of ways to improve query performance in log Insight

I have logged a call with GSS as well

Interestingly enough we did not seem to have the issues with 4.8

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Parsing JSON in Log Insight

$
0
0

Following guidance and using example log data from VMWare, the test data is being parsed into separate events seemingly based on line breaks in the data. Only when I wipe the line breaks does it parse the data as one event.

 

Is this by-design?

 

Referenced guidance:

JSON Parser

 

Parser IS working when the event is contiguous.

Hi,

I Was wondering if it's possible to send alerts the other way around instead of doing from vrli to vrops but have some alerts from vrops sent to vrli,

I'm looking for some way to configure an outbound plugin to send alerts to VRLI,

thanks

Problem with Loginsight Content Pack Markplace access

$

Starting from some days ago I'm not able to access the Content Pack Marketplace from vRealize Log Insight.

I just get a circle spinning in the middle of the screen just like it was trying to download something but not working.

It was working in the past.

I've the same problem on 3 different installation 2 of which are 8.0 and 1 is 8.1 just upgraded.

 

From my browser I'm able to reach the marketplace without any problem.

Anything I can check?

Host List - Configuration

$
0
0

Hi All,

 

I've inherited Log Insight from someone else and am looking at the configuration of it, we are using version 8.0

 

I've a question around the list of hosts .... Administration -> Management -> Hosts

 

Where is this list pulled from and what determines the hosts are hosts.  

 

The reason I'm asking is that I've multiple hosts in there that are not actually hosts, servers that are hosted in our vCenter (vCSA 6.7) but are not hosts.  There are even servers that are not hosted in the vCenter that is configured and I don't want to see them at all, they are in our domain but not managed by the vCenter we have configured.

 

If anyone can shed some light on it would be much appreciated.

vCenter collection failed alerts post-upgrade to vRLI 8l1

$

0

Since updating to vRealize Log Insight v8.1 from v8.0 I'm seeing a daily "vCenter collection failed" alert. The vCenter Server in question is running v7.0 GA (VCSA), and despite the error, data is clearly being collected as I can see it in the user interface.

 

If I browse to the Administration -> Integration -> vSphere pane, all the details for the connection appear correct and the Collection Status is Collecting (with a green tick). ESXi hosts are also configured and log data being received. I've tried removing the connection and re-adding it, which works fine, but the daily collection failure alert is still received.

 

I took a look at the appliance logs and see the following output in /var/log/loginsight/runtime.log at the time the alert is raised:

The HTTP 403 response from the /rest/appliance/system/version endpoint seems particularly relevant? If I make the same request manually using the same credentials as the vRLI server is using to connect to VCSA though, I get the expected response, so I'm not sure what's going on here.

 

Is this a known issue with vRLI 8.1? I updated it around the same time as VCSA to 7.0 (from 6.7), so possibly it's specific to VCSA 7.0 support? Any advice/ideas appreciated!
