Playbook execution skipped as trigger is not visible to execution user.

Hi, I created a playbook to send me a mail when a no admin user power on a virtual machine, but when I login with that user the playbook fails with this message Playbook execution skipped as trigger is not visible to execution user. Can anyone help to identify which action I am missing? I already create a rol with these actions, but the error is the same.

Have a cloned VM inherit the assigned categories

We have a subset of VMs that a group of users needs readonly and console access. This is not difficult with RBAC using categories. However, when we clone these systems for testing or new deployment, the assigned categories don’t get inherited from the source VM. Since we do this often, this is a management headache. Is this standard behavior? If so, any ideas on how to do this easily? I was hoping projects might be helpful, but I can’t find much useful documentation or examples to guide me.

VM Categories management

We have created playbook to categorize VM to align with backup configuration in Veeam, grouping by Cluster,Environment and such. I noticed that a category can have more than one value. A VM can potentially have both Testing and Production value for the builtin ‘Environment’ category. Could it be alerted somehow if a VM has two values for a category? And similarly is there a way to catch a VM that does not have any category? Regards, Jóhannes

Mulitple actions in playbook

Hi I using playbook to categorize vm’s according to cluster,os,sla and such. It’s working, but I want to see if it’s possible to assign a category based on two or more conditions. I’m only able to use the ‘branch’ to evaluate one condition. Is it possible to do AND when evaluating if a vm is assigned to a category?

How to solve - If Prism Central Root Partition usage exceeds 95%

Run the health check ncc health_checks system_checks pcvm_disk_usage_check and if fails check if var/spool/maildrop is not the culprit. Ideally this logs should get cleared by itself. howver there is a limitiation in PC versions older than 2023.3. run allssh ‘df -i /’ (this will show you info about the mount points) run allssh 'sudo du --inode /var/spool/postfix/maildrop’ (this will show you the utilization in kbs) now run the below command will clear the logs, but try on your own risk as it needs to be done with nutanix support allssh 'sudo postsuper -d ALL maildrop' thanks

Recommended configuration for rsyslog server in PE and PC

IHAC who has configured splunk as their remote syslog server. They have also configured “Audit” module for both PE and PC. To test the logging, they are able to see events such as VMs powered off and on in splunk. But they are not able to gather any information on events such as user accounts creation / deletion, as we tried to create some local accounts in PE and PC to test. Do they need to configure anything else to capture such events?

Prism Central registration failed; pre-registration checks issue encountered

Hi I have AHV version 20220304.342. I have deployed Prism Central version pc.2022.6.0.5 but when I try and register it I get an error message under tasks that tells me: Pre registration checks - failed The reason is showing as ‘The username or password entered is incorrect’ I have tried all different combinations for the user ‘admin’ and have even changed it but still the same? I also went into Local User Management and created another admin user account but still got the same result using that one too? Any advice welcome please? Many thanks

How To Send a Report to Slack

The Reporting feature of Nutanix Cloud Manager Intelligent Operations enables you to create reports and schedule them to be e-mailed on a regular basis. But did you know you can also send these reports to Slack? While the reporting framework currently only allows you to specify e-mail, you can set up a time-based playbook using Nutanix’s low-code/no-code automation tool (also known as X-Play), along with the Generate Report and Slack actions. Note: Be sure to set up your Slack app as per the documentation . You’ll also need to ensure that the file:write permission scope is granted to the app. Once you have a report configured, set up your playbook. From the main Prism Central 2023.3 dashboard, select Intelligent Operations from the drop down menu, then navigate to the hamburger menu > Playbooks. Alternatively, just search for Playbooks in the search bar. Click on Create Playbook, then select the Time trigger. Specify the schedule you want the playbook to run on (i.e. how often you want
