Known Issues

Known Issues

The following is a list of issues known to exist at the time of this release.

Defect ID

Known Issue

OMEINT-219

The OME Alert Feed table selection auto-jumps to the first/mid selected record if the table has many rows.

OMEINT-200

When users acknowledge or clear alerts in the Foglight for Virtualization EE dashboard, the alert status is updated immediately in the OME Alert Feed table, and after a certain delay it is updated in the OME server. If the OME agent finishes one alert collection before the alert status is updated in the OME server, the agent receives outdated status information, and (as a result) overrides the alert status in the OME Alert Feed.

OMEINT-168

To collect storage (physical disk) information for ESXi servers, you must discover both integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) and ESXi in OpenManage Essentials.

OMEINT-114

OpenManage Essentials collects more information about NICs (such as, iDRAC NIC, VMkernel NIC, etc.) than Foglight for Virtualization EE does. As a result, the NIC information numbers provided by the two products are different."
