The Management Pack for VMware Telco Cloud Automation collects information for entities from the VMware Telco Cloud Automation appliance and creates the corresponding objects in Aria Operations.

  • TCA-Certificate

    • Contains certificate information of external systems configured on TCA-M and TCA-CP. For example, vCenter certificate, Harbor certificate, TCA kubernetes clusters certificates, and TCA-CP certificate.

    • Object properties

      • Certificate expiry hours

      • Certificate expiry string (certificate expiry in number of days)

      • Endpoint URL

      • Endpoint type

      • Connection status

      • System Names (If the certificate is present on TCA-M or TCA-CP)

      • Last Connected at

  • TCA-ControlPlane

    Note:

    If only a TCA-Manager account is added to the Telco Cloud Automation adapter instance, all the fields of the TCA-ControlPlane object will not be populated. The TCA-M and TCA-CP appliances need to be configured individually on the Telco Cloud Automation adapter instance.

    • Contains information of the TCA-ControlPlane appliance

    • Object properties

      • vimName (Name provided to the TCA-CP when registering on TCA-M)

      • vimType (In the current release, only VC backed TCA-CPs are supported)

      • vimUrl

      • vc_status (Indicates TCA-CP connectivity to the corresponding vCenter.

        Note: In case of active directory based authentication, the value will always be N/A)

      • syslog_status (Indicates TCA-CP connectivity to the syslog server where TCA logs will be forwarded, this field will contain NOT_CONFIGURED value if syslog server is not configured via log management)

      • vrli_status(Indicates TCA-CP connectivity to the Aira operations for logs instance where TCA logs will be forwarded, this field will contain NOT_CONFIGURED value if Aria operations for logs is not configured via log management)

      • connection_status (Indicates TCA-CP connectivity to the corresponding TCA-M instance)

      • connection_remote_status (Indicates TCA-CP remoting health to the corresponding TCA-M instance)

      • connection_event_mesh_status (Indicates event mesh health, this serves as an additional indicator for connectivity between TCA-M and TCA-CP)

      • hostName (host name of the TCA-CP instance)

      • ip (IP address of the TCA-CP instance)

      • tcaVersion (version of TCA that the TCA-CP instance is running)

      • buildNumber (TCA build number that the TCA-CP instance is running)

  • TCA-Manager

    • Contains information of the TCA-Manager appliance

    • Object properties

      • vc_status (Indicates TCA-M connectivity to the corresponding vCenter.

      • Note: In case of active directory based authentication, the value will always be N/A)

      • syslog_status (Indicates TCA-M connectivity to the syslog server where TCA logs will be forwarded, this field will contain NOT_CONFIGURED value if syslog server is not configured via log management)

      • vrli_status(Indicates TCA-M connectivity to the Aira operations for logs instance where TCA logs will be forwarded, this field will contain NOT_CONFIGURED value if Aria operations for logs is not configured via log management)

      • hostName (host name of the TCA-M instance)

      • ip (IP address of the TCA-M instance)

      • tcaVersion (version of TCA that the TCA-M instance is running)

      • buildNumber (TCA build number that the TCA-M instance is running)

  • TCA-Kubernetes-Cluster

    • Contains information of the TCA-Kubernetes-Cluster object. This object will be available in the VMware Aria Operations instance if a TCA-CP account is configured on the Telco Cloud Automation Management pack, all kubernetes clusters configured on the TCA-CP instance will be made available as TCA-Kubernetes-Cluster objects.

    • Object properties

      • cluster_name (Name of the kubernetes cluster)

      • cluster_status (Indicates the connectivity status between TCA-CP and the corresponding kubernetes cluster)

      • cluster_type (Indicates if the cluster is a management cluster or a workload cluster)

      • cluster_url (The URL of the cluster)

      • kubernetes_version (The kubernetes version that the cluster is running)

      • UUID (unique ID of the cluster, internal to TCA)

  • TCA-License

    • Contains licensing information that is available on the TCA-Manager instance

    • Object properties

      • edition

      • quantity

      • type

      • unit

  • TCA-Service

    • Contains information of services running on a TCA-M or TCA-CP appliance

    • Object properties

      • Name (Name of the service)

      • status (Indicates if a service is running or stopped)
