Known issue: OP-38325

If you have the Change Log enabled, setup-monitoring.yml fails because it does not specify change log information its changes.

Solution Copied

You need to temporarily disable the Change Log.

  1. Disable the Change Log.
  2. Run the setup-monitoring.yml playbook using opsview-deploy:
/opt/opsview/deploy/bin/opsview-deploy /opt/opsview/deploy/lib/playbooks/setup-monitoring.yml
  1. Re-enable the Change Log.
