In a multi-node setup of the VMware Pulse IoT Center, alert definition operations such as create, update, and delete fail.
Problem
You will not able to perform the following operations on an alert work flow:
- Create Alert definition
- Update Alert definition
- Delete Alert definition
Cause
If one or more nodes are not fully functional, the alert definition operations fail.
Note:
Alerts for existing alert definitions are still triggered in this case.
Solution
Ensure that all the nodes are up and running before creating alert definitions. To verify whether the nodes are up and functioning, perform the following steps:
- Navigate to VMware Pulse IoT Center Administration > Services and ensure that all the services are up and running.
- In Services, restart the services that are down in Node 1, Node 2, and Node 3.
Note: If this solution does not work, call VMware Support.
