I'm having trouble getting the agent software brought up correctly on some hosts. The agent process starts, but it doesn't get to log any information (log file not present (yes, permissions are correct on the log directory). The wrapper log reports this:
It just hangs here indefinitely, and the agent process uses a large amount of CPU - about 220 - constantly.
The startup script/launcher also waits until it times out.
I have a bit of experience with HQ at my previous workplace, and I'm working on a POC/trial of it here are my new gig.
My environment is this:
- all servers are baremetal (not VMs)
- Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
- hq community edition 4.6.6 (server and clients)
- agent running as user 'hyperic'
- pre-configured agent.properties file with encrypted camPword and the corresponding agent.scu file
- agent started using the start command
I see this problem on one of two supposedly identical servers. These two servers were provisioned automatically via preseed and puppet - any differences (unlikely) would have been from manual manipulation, and AFAIK there have been no changes. The other server started up the agent and promptly registered with the server (also did not have any issues when importing it).
FWIW I have CentOS hosts, and brought up an agent on one of those without any issues.
Anyone know what's going on? Reasons for it to hang at this stage, while using a good amount of CPU?
Any help is appreciated..
