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.

Ansible Automation Platform Integration in Self Service

Hi! I’m looking for an out of the box integration of AAP to import/install in the Self Service, to get inventories, credentials, job templates, … from our AAP, to be able to launch job templates from Self Service (and retrieve the result of jobs :)). This way I can automate some tasks, like post-provisioning tasks after VM deployment or some day2 actions. Regards, Fred

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

Nutanix Cloud Services vs AWS

Hello Community, Hope you are doing well. I would like to know if these following AWS Services have their equivalents in Nutanix Private Cloud : Amazon Simple Notification Service : allows developers to send messages to many subscribers through communication channels such as email, SMS (text messages), mobile push notifications, and HTTP/HTTPS endpoints. Amazon Simple Queue Service : Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) lets you send, store, and receive messages between software components at any volume, without losing messages or requiring other services to be available. Amazon Data Firehose : provides the easiest way to acquire, transform, and deliver data streams within seconds to data lakes, data warehouses, and analytics services. AWS Lambda : serverless compute service for running code without having to provision or manage servers AWS API Gateway : fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to publish, maintain, monitor, secure, and operate APIs at any scale Amaz

Can Prism Central support like Vender provides an app - https://monitoring-tool.com which will internally call Prism Central API to monitor clusters?

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?

Nutanix Calm DSL version requirements

Hi, I am interested in using Nutanix Calm DSL to automate certain Calm tasks, specifically updating our existing applications to use python3 escripts instead of python2. I noticed that the docker tags for DSL only run from v3.7.0. May I know if there is a minimum version of Nutanix Calm that DSL needs to run on? We are using Calm v3.5.2 at the moment and I don’t have an environment with a later version to try out DSL. Thanks.

Cannot use dynamic vars with credentials in runbooks after being published to marketplace

Hi guys, New runbook. I’ve added a variable with escript that gets a list from DB (using a credential object to connect to the DB) Very simple and straightforward when executing the runbook the variable populates the list and everything is working fine. Unfortunately, after publishing it to the marketplace (with the ‘Publish with secrets’ on) it will give this error upon execution: Warning: These variables cannot be resolved: DBUser.username, DBUser.secret I really can’t understand why it isn’t working Did someone encounter this behavior? what was your solution? Thanks!

Nutanix - Server is not reachable

I am new to this companies Nutanix system and we’re getting “Server is not reachable” from the Prisim login screen. I’m getting information overload trying to find where to start diagnosing this issue. Hoping someone can point me in a direction of what to try first. I am remote so I cannot interact with the system directly.

How can I Protect/Prevent a VM from deletion in CALM/Self Service?

I am looking for a way to protect the VMs that I’ve stood in as Applications in Calm/Self Service from accidental deletion (mostly by me). I don’t see a way to do this in any areas of Prism or Calm, and I don’t see anything in the Policy Manager docs that would address it, either. Is there any kind of pattern or feature for this? Thanks

Passing cpu/ram/disk runtime vars via Jenkins calm plugin

I initially developed a Jenkins pipeline to launch Calm blueprints using the raw API, which works, but i hadn’t yet figured out how to pass runtime params to it. It was then that i found the Jenkins plugin, which simplifies the process significantly. It is easy to pass values to the app variables that are exposed in the blueprint. What i don’t see is the ability to pass runtime-editable fields. For example, i can set an App Variable for a user-supplied value, via the plugin. But I don’t see a way to set, for example, the `vCPUs` field that I have marked as a runtime field. It is available to set when launching the Blueprint via the Prism UI, but is it possible to set these fields using the Jenkins Plugin? PS: i am also unclear how to set params via the raw API, but i’ll ask that in a separate topic.
