Hybrid Operations: Triage VCF Diagnostics Findings with Orchestrator

Hybrid operations in VCF often means multiple signal sources: VCF Operations, vCenter alarms, and platform findings. Diagnostics findings are useful, but false positives can occur.

Orchestrator action: findings triage workflow

Goal: take a Diagnostics finding, verify it with a second source, then route to the right queue.

Workflow steps (VMware Aria Orchestrator)

• Create a workflow: 'VCF Ops - Diagnostics Finding Triage'
• Inputs: findingId (string), severity (string)
• Step 1: Pull finding details from VCF Operations / Aria Operations (API or integration action).
• Step 2: Run a lightweight verification check against vCenter (for example: alarm state or object status).
• Step 3: If verified, open an incident with full context; if not verified, mark as 'Needs Review' and attach evidence.

Expected outcome

Findings become actionable with evidence. Operators spend less time chasing noise.
