Log Insight 4.3: User Alert History [sflanders.net]

Log Insight 4.3: User Alert History

Log Insight has always featured the ability to create user alerts. User alerts can be triggered in a variety of ways including via email, vROps, and/or webhooks. One potential limitation of Log Insight user alerts is that they were fire and forget. What I mean is that there was no easy way to tell natively within Log Insight if/when a user alert had triggered. You could go to Manage Alerts on Interactive Analytics and individually run each alert over a desired time range, but this operation would take time and consume resources on Log Insight. What would be really nice is if user alert history could easily be displayed in Log Insight.

Replacing vRealize Operations Manager Certificates [buildvirtual.net]

Replacing vRealize Operations Manager Certificates

I had a project recently to deploy a three node highly available vROPs 6.4 solution. This included the master node, a master replica and a remote collector situated in a different datacenter. Due to security requirements it was necessary to replace the default self-signed certificates with a trusted certificate signed by an internal CA. I hadn’t had cause to do this before with vROPs, so thought I’d go through the process I followed here.
