Symptoms

In vRealize Log Insight, logs are not received from new or upgraded vRealize Operations Manager 6.7 Remote Collector nodes.

Log Insight settings in the vRealize Operations Manager 6.7 UI under Administrations > Management > Log Forwarding are not reflected on Remote Collector nodes.

Cause

Previous versions of vRealize Operations Manager had multiple ways of configuring log forwarding to vRealize Log Insight:

From the vRealize Operations Manager UI under Administration > Support > Logs.

Note: This option only worked for Analytic Nodes.

Manually via configuration of the liagent.ini file on all vRealize Operations Manager nodes

Configuration from vRealize Log Insight via activating Agent Group template.

To eliminate the problem of ambiguous configurations, vRealize Log Insight 4.6 is delivered with the new pre-installed version of the Content Pack for vRealize Operations Manager, where all the Agent groups templates are intentionally omitted.
Now the configuration of Remote Collector nodes must be done manually.

Note: The Administration > Management > Log Forwarding page in vRealize Operations Manager 6.7 replaced the Administration > Support > Logs page in previous versions, and the other two options are no longer available.  Configuration of Remote Collector nodes must be done manually in vRealize Operations Manager 6.7 following the instructions below.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in vRealize Operations Manager 7.0, available at VMware Downloads.

To resolve the issue in vRealize Operations Manager 6.7, follow the instructions below.

New vRealize Operations Manager 6.7 Remote Collector

Log into the desired Remote Collector node as root via SSH or Console.

Open /etc/liagent.ini file in a text editor.

Under the [server] section, add the following configuration:

hostname=loginsight_address
proto=cfapi
port=9000
ssl=no

Notes:

Replace loginsight_address with the IP address or FQDN of your vRealize Log Insight appliance.

To use SSL, set port to 9543 and set ssl to yes, and add the ssl_ca_path option, set it to the path of the CA file.

At the end of the file, create a new section named [common|global].

Under the [common|global] section, add the following configuration:

tags = {"vmw_vr_ops_appname":"vROps", "vmw_vr_ops_clustername":"clustername", "vmw_vr_ops_clusterrole":"Remote Collector", "vmw_vr_ops_hostname":"hostname", "vmw_vr_ops_nodename":"nodename"}

Note: Replace the following as described:

clustername: The same value which is set on the primary node's /etc/liagent.ini file.

hostname: IP address or FQDN of the vRealize Operations Manager node.

nodename: Name of the vRealize Operations Manager node that is set during node initial configuration.

At the end of the file, create the following sections and configurations:

Upgraded vRealize Operations Manager 6.7 Remote Collector

Log into the desired Remote Collector node as root via SSH or Console.

Open /etc/liagent.ini file in a text editor.

Under the [server] section, ensure the following configuration is set correctly; update if necessary:

hostname=loginsight_address
proto=cfapi
port=9000
ssl=no

Notes:

Replace loginsight_address with the IP address or FQDN of your vRealize Log Insight appliance.

To use SSL, set port to 9543 and set ssl to yes, and add the ssl_ca_path option, set it to the path of the CA file.

At the end of the file, create a new section named [common|global].

Under the [common|global] section, add the following configuration:

tags = {"vmw_vr_ops_appname":"vROps", "vmw_vr_ops_clustername":"clustername", "vmw_vr_ops_clusterrole":"Remote Collector", "vmw_vr_ops_hostname":"hostname", "vmw_vr_ops_nodename":"nodename"}

Note: Replace the following as described:

clustername: The same value which is set on the primary node's /etc/liagent.ini file.

hostname: IP address or FQDN of the vRealize Operations Manager node.

nodename: Name of the vRealize Operations Manager node that is set during node initial configuration.
