Resolved Issues

• Fixed Issue 3378503: Initial Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) activation fails in the NSX Application Platform 4.1.2 with an Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) license.

  The NTA feature is activated with an ATP license in two scenarios:

  1. The NTA feature is automatically activated when the NSX Intelligence feature is activated with an ATP license.

  2. When the NSX Intelligence feature is active, and an ATP add-on license is later added, the NTA feature is activated.

  See the ATP license requirements.

  Despite having a valid ATP license, the initial activation attempt of NTA fails in the NSX Application Platform 4.1.2. An error message appears for the Events and Detector Definitions options under the NSX > Security > Suspicious Traffic menu.

  The application server encountered an error while trying to fulfill your request. (404 Not Found)

  Important:

  When upgrading to NSX Application Platform 4.1.2.1 from the 4.1.2 version, the fix for issue 3378503 does not automatically recover the setup from the failure state.

  Implement the following steps when upgrading from NSX Application Platform 4.1.2 to 4.1.2.1 release to activate the NTA feature.

  1. Log in to the NSX Manager appliance using the root account.

  2. Select System > Licenses to delete the existing ATP license.

  3. Add the ATP license again and wait for a few minutes.

  4. Select NSX > Security > Suspicious Traffic > Events and Detector Definitions to verify that there is no error.
