Category - VMware vRealize Operations

I was trying to install the vRealize Operations Telegraf agent on my VMs by following the documentation. I wrote the steps out in a Salt state file:
unzip: pkg.installed install-telegraf: cmd.script: - source: https://cloudproxy.domain.tld/downloads/salt/download.sh - name: /tmp/download.sh -o install -v vrops.domain.tld -u admin -p [email protected] - mode: '0777' Salt takes the source and puts it in the location under name, executing it with the included arguments.

Hello again!
Today a customer was working with the vRealize Operations 8.0 REST API in Postman and trying to bulk delete “Canceled Alerts”. The documentation in the API states that you need to request a DELETE against the https://{vra-fqdn}/suite-api/api/alerts/bulk API and you should be OK. Well, not exactly.

Test was not successful: Failed to post or put to the server.
I tried looking around the vROPs Logs section under Administration > Support > Logs but couldn’t find anything specific for Outbound Notification plugins.
