VCPF-70-000010 - Performance Charts must not be configured with unsupported realms.

Information

Performance Charts performs user authentication at the application level and not through Tomcat. Depending on the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) version, Performance Charts may come configured with a 'UserDatabaseRealm'. This should be removed as part of eliminating unnecessary features.

Solution

Navigate to and open:

/usr/lib/vmware-perfcharts/tc-instance/conf/server.xml

Remove the <Realm> node returned in the check.

Restart the service with the following command:

# vmon-cli --restart perfcharts
