Note about the vCOps 5.0.1 vApp

For anyone that reads this post, I just wanted to let people know to update a file on each of the 2 VMs that comprise the vApp. 

This modification updates what files are collected when you generate a diagnostic bundle.  This file was correct in 5.0.0, but not in 5.0.1.  It will be addressed in the future.

No reboot or restart of the application is required, as the file is only referenced when creating a log bundle.

Process:

SSH as the 'admin' account and update the following file (vim is provided with the vApp):

/usr/lib/vmware-vcops/user/conf/diagnosticFolders.properties

Delete the entire contents of the file, then paste following (the last line starts with 'java-error'):

#properties file for specifying what folders and files need to go into the VCOps support bundle #The key is the name of the folder in the support bundle, the value is the folder name on disk #If an absolute path is not used, the path is relative to $ALIVE_BASE conf=user/conf log=user/log web-server/conf=tomcat/conf web-server/logs=tomcat/logs web-server-enterprise/conf=tomcat-enterprise/conf

web-server-enterprise/logs=tomcat-enterprise/logs

web-server-admin/logs=/usr/lib/tomcat-ciqadmin/logs

web-server-admin/conf=/usr/lib/tomcat-ciqadmin/conf

database/log=/data/pgsql/data/pg_log

database/pg_hba.conf=/data/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf

database/postgresql.conf=/data/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf

database/pgstartup.log=/data/pgsql/data/pgstartup.log

database/serverlog=/data/pgsql/data/serverlog

var/log=/var/log

java-error=/data/vcops/log/java/

Repeat this for the other VM, to ensure we gather these logs from each VM.
