Aria Operations 8.18 HF1 has been made available to fix several bugs and address a handful of CVEs, here it is. If the download link in the KB doesn't work for you, you can find the Operations 8.18 HF1 binaries here.
I was at Operations 8.18 (24025145) before applying HF1.
Let's apply HF1, first we'll take down the Operations Cluster.
Next, let's apply HF1.
Once complete, you'll see this from your Operations admin UI.
And this from your About page.
Another hotfix is coming soon. There is an issue/bug in Aria Operations 8.18 that cause all the widget/dashboard/views data to disappear from view. All screens are blank. Resetting the local users in Postgress DB did not help. Engineering found a permanent fix by editing some jsp files. So far the fix is holding and will prompt release of a new Hotfix. Hold off on upgrading to 8.18 (if any plans). The issue is not seen on new installations.
I ended up downloading vrlcm-vrops-8.18.0-HF1.patch and then uploading it to Aria LCM.'s Patch Binaries. I was able to patch Aria Operations via LCM. I also have four Cloud Proxy VMs. I suspect this update path is also correct. Now that we've transitioned away from Aria SaaS (not by choice), I rely on blogs like yours to stay current and continue learning new things. Thanks! 😀
