The following table describes possible causes of problems that might be encountered with
licensing a managed system and provides actions to correct them.

Corrective actions

25.13 Troubleshooting monitoring problems

The following table describes possible causes of problems related to monitoring and provides
actions to correct them. Problems related to the

Performance Dashboard

tool are described in a

subsequent table.

Corrective Actions

Cause/Symptom

Ensure that the Configure

Configure or Repair Agents

task was run on the managed systems.

Cannot distribute pdsh keys

Ensure that the management hubs were installed with
Management-Hub.cfg

or have all required Linux RPMs

installed.

Failure trying to install monitoring RPMs

Ensure that nrpe is running on the managed systems:

# /etc/init.d nrpe status

check_nrpe error: Connection refused by host

Use the /sbin/csys command to examine the
/hptc_cluster

cluster export status:

# sbin/csys status
/hptc_cluster local, exported
# /sbin/csys umount /hptc_cluster
# cat /etc/exports
.
.
/hptc_cluster
192.118.192.143/255.255.240.0(rw,no_root_squash,sync)

Problems exporting /hptc_cluster across the management
hubs

Perform the appropriate action:

Ensure that the
/opt/hptc/syslog-ng/bin/syslog-ng

command

is running on the management hubs:

# /etc/init.d/syslog-ng status

Run the logger command to verify that syslog
messages appear in the consolidated log and in the
aggregated log files:

# pdsh –a logger –p warn "test msg1"
# grep "msg1" \
/hptc_cluster/adm/logs/consolidated.log

Syslog events for managed systems are not showing up
in consolidated log
