I need to run a script on a 3rd party system, when a vRA8-provisioned vm is deleted. The script needs the mac address of the vm - it grabs the subscription payload (inputProperties), loads associated resources associated with the deployments and grabs the mac addresses from the proeprties.networks.mac_address attributes.
I have created a subscription for the "compute.removal.pre" event topic which is supposed to be "Fired before a compute resource is being destroyed".
When triggered however, in about 1/3 cases, the vm is no longer there for the mac addresses to be read, and the subscripted workflow fails.
Setting the "Timeout" value in the subscription to >0 minutes does not change anything.
I have specifically set the event option to "pre", so that the required data can be queried, before the resource is removed.
Is there a way to force vRA to wait until the vRO workflow is finished?
Edit: When the subscribed workflow fails, the Deyploemnt Deletion fails too. When querying the resource at this state using
/deployment/api/resources/{id}, the network configuration does not contain mac_adresses, however in the topology gui those are still listed.
