Recent I was running into the following error when installing an VMware Aria Operations Telegraf Endpoint Agent on a Bare Metal Linux server.
Error: “Failed to update VM bootstrap failure message. Error code: {“message”:”Request Validation Failed. Reason is \”Collection of resource property contents can not be null or empty\”.”,”httpStatusCode”:400,”apiErrorCode”:1517}400
install agents failed at Runtime user: arcuser is not having password-less privileges. If runtime user was created manually, ensure required privileges are available. Also ensure that /etc/sudoers file has a line ‘#includedir /etc/sudoers.d’. Please check /root/arc_install_tmp_dir/uaf_bootstrap.log on the endpoint VM.. please check logs for more detail.”
To solve this issue add the following line to /etc/sudoers.
@includedir /etc/sudoers.d
There is a Broadcom KB about this error but personally I don’t find this one very clear to me.
