Download the vRealize Log Insight Virtual Appliance

Deploy appropriately sized appliance, XS, S, M, L

Provision eager zeroed disks whenever possible

Specify no more than two DNS servers

Deploy additional nodes to support the environment

Join nodes to existing deployment (https://log-insight-host/)

Deploying vRealize Log Insight


Minimum 3 nodes in a cluster, recommended is 4

All nodes must be in the same data center

All load nodes and load balancer IP must be on the same L2 network

All nodes must be exactly the same size

All primary and worker nodes must have the same SSL certificate

Time must be synchronized on all nodes using the same NTP servers

Cluster Pre-requisites

25

26


Configure Load Balancing

Verify all nodes and Integrated Load Balancer IP address are on the same network

If you are using NSX, verify that the Enable IP Discovery option is disabled on the NSX logical switch

Primary and Worker nodes must have the same certificates

*External load balancers are not supported for use with vRealize Log Insight

Automatic event clustering

Cluster similar events: reverse engineer code that generated events

Happens at ingestion time, so zero impact on interactive analytics

Example: search returns 10,000 messages, but summarized in 10 event types

Schema discovery

Automatically understands the structure of the event

Automatic field extraction “smart fields” defined for each event, including their data types.

Cloud Assembly

OpenShift 3.X Support

VMware Cloud Management strategy is evolving very quickly these days. We are more and more opening our arms to integration with other platforms to be a control plane layer above as many aspects of multi-cloud environments as possible. Our latest integration to expand the platform to help IT operators maintain the ever grow landscape of capabilities is with Red Hat OpenShift.

Once integrated you can create namespaces and assign them to projects in Cloud Assembly allowing for governance and control.


Cloud Assembly

Ansible Tower Integration

• Support for Ansible Tower allows customers to run Ansible Tower Job Templates from our blueprint canvas.

• Incorporating existing Ansible Tower instances into vRealize Automation gives customers another option for configuration management along with Puppet and Ansible Open Source.

• The Ansible Tower and/or Engine can be on-prem or in the cloud. The nodes that will be managed or deployed could also be on-prem or in the cloud.

• The integration provides maximum flexibility when integrating with these solutions.

113

114


Active Directory IntegrationCloud Assembly

Allow consumption of Cloud Zones based on Tags

Dynamic validation of AD integration settings during authoring

Machine assigned to correct Organization unit based on the Project the deployment user is assigned in Cloud Assembly.

When deployment is deleted the machine account is Active Directory is also deleted.

vRA Cloud Requires deployment of new On-Prem Extensibility Action appliance


Cloud Assembly

PowerShell Support for ABX Actions

Action Based Extensibility (ABX) is a serverless function capability integrated into vRealize Automations Cloud Assembly Service. Previously ABX only supported Python and NodeJS scripting languages. With the release of vRealize Automation 8.1 the on-premises ABX appliance will now support running PowerShell (PS) natively as a serverless function. This will allow you to use all the power of PowerShell without the need to create PS Hosts and complex infrastructure to support PS scripting.

115

116



vRO Enhancements

SCRIPTABLE TASK TREE VIEW GIT IMPROVEMENTS

Workflow

DEBUG WORKFLOWS

117

118


Support for Multiple Scripting Languages

You can now use PowerShell, Nodejs, and Python for tasks in workflows along side the traditional vRealize Orchestrator java scripting language!! This is a huge advancement for vRealize Orchestrator. No more need to have a PowerShell Host to run PowerShell scripts. Plus the inclusion of Nodejs and Python make creating sophisticated workflows easier by using existing libraries for those languages!!

Note: This feature is only available with a vRA license.

Chris is HUGE


Tree View is Back…well Folders!!

The tree view that everyone was familiar with in vRealize Orchestrator was not available when the switch to the HTML 5 client happened. With the release of vRealize Orchestrator 8.1 a version of the tree view is back with hierarchical folders. Now you can easily organize your workflows as you did in previous version.

119

120


Visual Differences and Source Control Enhancement

• vRealize Orchestrator now supports syncing workflows to different branches from a Git repository. Before it was only available to source control to a single branch. This allows promotion of code through normal git operations and PR requests.

• You can also see the visual differences between versions of a workflow in the workflow designer under version history.

Note: The Date and Time are automatically added to the version.


Source Control Enhancement

vRealize Orchestrator now supports syncing workflows to different branches from a Git repository. Before it was only available to source control to a single branch.

This allows promotion of code through normal git operations and PR requests.

Once the Git repository has been configured, workflow developers can use the Version action from within the workflow editor to push a new version to the repository.

121

122


Debug workflows at Schema Elements

You can now debug workflows at any element within the workflow by simply clicking the red box on the element and running the workflow. This will allow you to quickly move through workflow development.


Run and Debug Actions

vRealize Orchestrator 8.1 introduces the ability to run and debug actions directly from the Action itself.

Break points can be added to the Script to debug variables during the Action run, as well as creating “Watch expressions” to be evaluated as you step through the code.

123

124


Custom CSS allows you to import a stylesheet to customize the appearance of forms, which allows you to create a richer user experience

Service BrokerCustom Forms Enhancements


Complex Input Types in Service Broker allow you to consume vRealize Orchestrator Workflows with complex inputs as Catalog Items. This is especially useful to capture information for XaaS (anything as a service) workflows and facilitates the use of custom types in vRealize Automation.

Service BrokerComplex Input Types

125

126


In addition to the vRealize Log Insight integration provided in vRealize Orchestrator, you can now configure remote syslog support for one or more syslog servers.

Remote syslog is configured using the vracli command line tool (for both vRO embedded on vRA, and vRO standalone)

Remote Syslog Support

$ vracli remote-syslog set --agent_id syslog-config1 tcp://10.20.30.40:514

$ vracli remote-syslog set --agent_id syslog-config2 --disable-ssl tcp://10.20.30.40:514

$ vracli remote-syslog set --agent_id syslog-config2 --force udp://10.20.30.40

$ vracli remote-syslog set --agent_id syslog-config3 --ca-file /etc/ssl/certs/ca.crt

udp://10.20.30.41

$ vracli remote-syslog --force --agent_id syslog-config1 unset

$ vracli remote-syslog --force unset


• Kubernetes Zones in Service Broker• Service Broker admins can manage Kubernertes Zones in Service Broker and add these zones to different Projects

• Storage-persistent disk (currently only through API)• Ability to ensure disk doesn't get deleted on deployment\VM delete, ability to create a disk independent of a VM

• Bulk deployment request• A user can select the number of deployments to create from a single blueprint at blueprint request time so that I

may deploy multiple environments in a single request

• Network Extensibility Events• Add and remove network and load balancer objects from the network profile during deployment or deletion

• Support for vSphere7
