VMware Log Insight tools (8)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • _environment_for

    Report the environment a target declares, for policy scoping.

  • alert_get

    [READ] Get full details for one alert. Use this after alert_list; alert_id = the id it returned. target = target name from config. Returns the alert's sanitized detail; for its firings use alert_history. Read-only.

  • alert_history

    [READ] List recent trigger-history records for an alert.

  • alert_list

    [READ] List defined Log Insight alerts.

  • log_aggregate

    [READ] Aggregate matching events into a time series and detect spikes.

  • log_fields

    [READ] List the extracted fields available to use in query filters.

  • log_search

    [READ] Search Log Insight events within a time window.

  • log_version

    [READ] Return the Log Insight appliance version/build (diagnostics and query-syntax compatibility). target = target name from config. Use this first when a query behaves unexpectedly, to confirm the appliance version before trusting log_search. Read-only.

Read-only log search and aggregation for VMware Aria Operations for Logs (formerly vRealize Log Insight) — the appliance that collects syslog from ESXi hosts, vCenter, and VMs. The centralized-log data source for the VMware skill family. Strictly non-destructive: it queries, it never writes.

Companion Skills

Install

uv tool install vmware-log-insight
mkdir -p ~/.vmware-log-insight
cp config.example.yaml ~/.vmware-log-insight/config.yaml   # edit host/username/provider
echo 'VMWARE_LOG_INSIGHT_PROD_PASSWORD=...' > ~/.vmware-log-insight/.env
chmod 600 ~/.vmware-log-insight/.env
vmware-log-insight doctor

Offline / Air-Gapped Install (from source)

This project uses the modern PEP 517 build system (hatchling), so there is no setup.py by design — that is expected, not a missing file. If you cloned the source and hit ERROR: File "setup.py" or "setup.cfg" not found ... editable mode currently requires a setuptools-based build, your pip is older than 21.3 and cannot do an editable (-e) install with a non-setuptools backend. Editable mode is a developer convenience, not needed to run the tool — do one of:

# From the source tree — a normal (non-editable) install builds a wheel:
pip install .              # NOT  pip install -e .

# ...or upgrade pip first, and editable works too:
pip install --upgrade pip && pip install -e .

For a truly air-gapped host, build the wheels on a connected machine and copy them over — the target then needs no network:

# On a connected machine, collect this package + its dependencies as wheels:
pip wheel . -w dist        # → dist/*.whl   (or: uv build, for just this package)

# Copy dist/ to the air-gapped host, then install offline:
pip install --no-index --find-links dist vmware-log-insight

MCP Tools (7 — all read-only)

Workflows

  • Find errors fast — vmware-log-insight search -q error -l 1h.
  • Where did logs burst? — vmware-log-insight aggregate -q error -l 6h --bin-ms 300000, read spikes[], then search the spike window.
  • Root cause — pass logsearch results (plus vCenter events from vmware-monitor and metrics from vmware-aria) to vmware-debug incidenttimeline.

Troubleshooting

  • 401 on /sessions → check username/password/provider and the VMWARELOGINSIGHT__PASSWORD env var.
  • 503 everywhere → appliance starting up; doctor reports it as a status, not a crash.
  • Empty results → widen --last; default API port is 9543 (set port if different).

Security

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
