How do I generate a log bundle using the
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 API

You can use the API to generate log bundles for an environment or products in
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 and use them to troubleshoot issues with deployments, upgrades, or patching.

What is a log bundle?

Log bundles have collective diagnostic information about the
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 system. You generate and get the log bundle during or after creating an environment and installing products. Each log bundle is a downloadable tar file.
  • The environment log bundle includes information about all products installed in the environment. The tar file contains a group of individually zipped product log files.
  • The product log bundle includes information about a specific product that is installed in the environment. The tar file contains a log file for a single product that has been compressed and converted to tar format.

Prerequisites

Before generating a log bundle:

How do I generate and get an environment log bundle?

Verify that you have assigned a
environmentId
 variable.
To generate a log bundle for an environment, use the following request.
curl -X POST\
  '$url/lcm/lcops/api/v2/environments/$environmentId/log-bundles' \  
  -H 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW5AbG9jYWw6VGhpc0lzUGFzc3dvcmQ=' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 | jq "."
The response includes the request ID that you can use for tracking. Once log bundle generation is complete, use the following request to get the location of the log bundle.
curl -X GET\
  '$url/lcm/lcops/api/v2/environments/$environmentId/log-bundles' \  
  -H 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW5AbG9jYWw6VGhpc0lzUGFzc3dvcmQ=' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
| jq "."
A successful response includes the name and location of the tar files that contain the log bundles for all products installed in the environment. The
logGeneratedTime
 is specified in Unix time.
