Bill of Materials VMware vRealize Log Insight 8.10.2 VMware Cloud Director 10.4.1 VMware Cloud Director App Launchpad Extension 2.1.2 Photon OS 4.0 (for ALP) Have you deployed the Application Launchpad (ALP) extension into VMware Cloud Director in your Cloud Platform? You’re probably wondering how you can get those pesky logs out from your ALP servers. I found a great post by Vysakh Nair detailing how to use the vRLI Agent to forward logs from Cloud Director appliances.

Quick post today! While deploying a vRealize Log Insight (vRLI) cluster with a VIP using vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.1, you receive this error: Error Code: LCMVRLICONFIG40091 Error occured while configuring vRLI Integrated Load balancer. {"errorMessage":"Specified IP address is not available. It is already held by another host in the network","errorCode":"LOAD_BALANCER_ERROR","errorDetails":{"errorCode":"com.vmware.loginsight.api.errors.loadbalancer.ip_address_unavailable"}} This is clearly due to an issue with the VIP that has been configured. Check both forward and reverse DNS records of course.

It’s been a while since my last post! I’ve been spending some time in my homelab with the latest vRealize Suite products. One of those fantastic tools is vRealize Log Insight. I won’t get into the details of the product, but one of the use cases I wanted to tackle for my homelab was ingesting any and all syslog messages I could find. A key piece of my homelab is a PFSense VM that I use for routing and firewall separation between my home network and the components nested snuggly in my HP Z800 Workstation.
