"Prompt not matching the target server" alerts in Servers
Critical Alert: Prompt not matching the target server. Kindly check whether the given Command Prompt is correct.
This alert is generated when the target server's prompt does not match the prompt value configured during monitor addition.
Possible Cause
If the user's password has expired, the monitored server may prompt the user to change the password during login. In such cases, the prompt is not returned, triggering the alert.
Troubleshooting Steps
- Verify the SSH Connection:
- Attempt to establish an SSH connection to the monitored server using the user account configured in Applications Manager.
- Use an SSH tool (e.g: PuTTY) or the ServerSSHTroubleshoot.bat file for troubleshooting.
- For detailed steps on executing the ServerSSHTroubleshoot.bat file, refer here.
- Check for Prompt or Warnings:
- Ensure that the SSH connection is established successfully and the expected prompt value is returned.
- If the server displays messages like "Password expired" or prompts to reset the password, update the password accordingly.
- After resetting the password, verify if the alerts have been cleared in Applications Manager.
Note: These alerts may also occur when public key authentication is used. Certain SSH related system configurations may restrict server access until the expired password is reset.
