“VMware Aria Operations for Logs
VCF Operations 9.0 introduces an integrated log management solution that streamlines centralized log collection, log exploration, alert configuration based on logs, and dashboard creation, all within the VCF Operations interface. While existing VMware Aria Operations for Logs 8.18 instances can continue forwarding logs to VCF Operations 9.0, direct integration between the two is not supported. VMware Aria Operations for Logs has been deprecated, with version 8.18 being its final release, and will continue to be supported until its designated end-of-life.” - https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/402314/upgrade-guidance-for-aria-operations-for.html
“VMware Aria Operations for Logs version 8.18.x does not support an in-place upgrade to version 9.0. Instead, a fresh deployment of version 9.0 is required.
- It turns out; there is a OVA Operations-Logs-Appliance-9.0.0.0.24695810.ova to download and deploy the multiple node log cluster and then import the setup into VCF Operations.
