You can configure VMware Aria Operations for Logs to send alert notifications and metrics to VMware Aria Operations by integrating VMware Aria Operations for Logs with VMware Aria Operations (On-Premises).
Integrating with the On-Premises version requires additional changes to the VMware Aria Operations configuration. For information about configuring VMware Aria Operations On-Premises to integrate with VMware Aria Operations for Logs, see the Getting Started with Aria Operations for Logs Guide.
Integrating VMware Aria Operations for Logs alerts with VMware Aria Operations allows you to view all information about your environment in a single user interface.
You can send notification events from multiple VMware Aria Operations for Logs instances to a single VMware Aria Operations instance. You can also activate launch in context for a single VMware Aria Operations for Logs instance per VMware Aria Operations instance.
VMware Aria Operations for Logs uses the VMware Aria Operations REST API to create resources and relationships in VMware Aria Operations for configuring the launch-in-context adapter.
Prerequisites
- Create an integration user account in VMware Aria Operations with required permissions. For more information, see Requirements for Integrating With VMware Aria Operations.
- Verify that you know the IP address or host name of the target VMware Aria Operations instance.
- Verify that you are logged in to the VMware Aria Operations for Logs web user interface as a Super Admin user, or a user associated with a role that has the relevant permissions. See Create and Modify Roles for more information. The URL format of the web user interface is https://operations-for-logs-host, where operations-for-logs-host is the IP address or host name of the VMware Aria Operations for Logs virtual appliance.
In an environment running a VMware Aria Operations cluster with a configured load balancer, you can use the load balancer IP address if one is available.
