Tag :: CVA 7.1.0

CVA 7 is a full rebuild of the CloudVision Appliance (CVA)software on a new architecture. The new architecture provides a much richer set of management and security primitives. It is fully controllable by REST API, Web based GUI or CLI.

Data entries from journald can be viewed through the CLI and the REST API. If the REST API is used the data is returned to the user in the form of a list of structured entries. This API is only for viewing journal data contained on the node being queried. The user is given the option to pass parameters to the API that can be used for pagination and for filtering the data that gets returned, e.g. only returning entries that were written by a specific application or after a specific start time.

The feature exposes metrics and health status of storage devices on controllers and all managed nodes, but not switches. Metrics and health status are updated every minute and exposed through the Telemetry collector
