Kasparov-2 Tag Mapping to labels overwritten

[szajac01]

Hi, We try to map vmware tags within ManageIQ

This does not work... (we have the problem under kasparov-2 and najdorf 1.3)

My questions about this:

• is this the only configuration to perform normally to get the tag updated under "Labels"
• is it needed to refresh Provider / and or VM object to get Labels updated
• Do we need to create category and tags in our Manageiq Categories/Tags to get the mapping ok ?

this is not very in the documentation

thanks all

Update:

In Najdorf, not working ,maybe should you clarify how it exactly supposed to work ?

In Kasparov-2, full refresh of VMware provider does show labels updates. But after a while, they are dropped, and no longer visible on the VM labels. I found that (https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-vmware/pull/695), that is backported in kasparov. Is it related to ?

Update, kasparov-2 I've also applied https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-vmware/pull/715/ Same behavior, full refresh of VMware provider does show labels updates. But after a while, they are dropped, and no longer visible on the VM labels.

@szajac01 it sounds like you're hitting https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-vmware/pull/744 From what I can tell there is no API to get a list of tags for a single VM, so we only collect tags during full refreshes. The overhead of listing all tags and all tag-associations is too great.

Closing as this is likely fixed in #744
