Distributed Edition - Trobleshooting Doc [INTERNAL]








Check there is a Registration Issue exist:

1) In Managed Server, Run a RegistrationWithAdminServer.bat located on <Home_ela>/troubleshooting on comment prompt as administrator.



note: 
1) We need to open the webserver port bidirectionally both in admin and managed server or via VPN and optimal functionality by opening the port in the firewall.
2) Using a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) as the hostname for the multiple server communication is not recommended; it is recommended to use either the IP address or the host name.



Troubleshooting Steps:


1) Reachability: Check whether both Admin Server and Manage Server are Up and pingable bidirectionally.

2) Connectivity: Check whether Admin Server Console can be accessed in Manage Server Machine and Manage Server Console in Admin Server  Machine.

3) Build : Check Whether Admin Server Build and all Manage Server's Build are same.

4) Enterprise.txt :
Check whether Enterprise.txt values are correctly present.      
        
 
 

adminserver.webserver.port = Admin Server running Port.
adminserver.webserver.protocol = Admin Server running Protocol.
webserver.protocol = Manage Server running port.
server.startidrange = Manage Server using startid.
 i) Query to find the Manage Server details -  hostname, startid, port, protocol, ssl enabled status in Admin Server : Select * from Collectors



ii) Query to find the Manage Server using Startid : select * from seqgenstate where seqname='server.startidrange'

i) Case 1

Query to find the managed server details -  hostname, startid, port, protocol, SSL enabled status in Admin Server : Select * from Collectors (Refer to image)

The CollectorIP value in the managed server enterprise file and the hostname column in the admin server collectors table need to be the same.

If not same, edit correct details in managed server enterprice.txt and restart the managed server or update in Admin Server Manage Server Settings page.

ii)Case 2
Change in IP and hostname on managed server

If any changes in port and protocol alter that changes in Enterprise.txt file in EventLog Analyzer managed server and restart the EventLog Analyzer managed server and change managed server details in "Edit user logon details" in admin server.

Change in IP and hostname in admin server

If any changes in port and protocol alter that changes in Enterprise.txt file of all EventLog Analyzer managed server and restart the all EventLog Analyzer managed server.
