TroubleShooter Wizard and other problems - 20.Dec.2006 9:54:53 AM

When I run the TroubleShooter Wizard it's telling me the following things.
1. The Processor service user does not have administration priv's.
2. Processor service user does not have read/write permissions on the Data subfolder.
3. Processor service user does not have read/write permissions on the DebugLogs subfolders.

The service was installed using our domain admin account and I tripled checked all permissions on it's folders.  When I invoke the service account using the local system account, errors 2 and 3 above do not occur.  I've reinstalled several times using the latest build, 20061214.

I also noticed when downloading event logs from a large quantity of machines,  the events are processed for a short time and then the collection will begin to fail.  This has happened on for each install that I have done.

We are running GFIEvents Manager on Windows 2003 Server with SQL 2000.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

There is a known issue with the troubleshooter. If you have made sure that the service account has administrative rights, then you should ignore the troubleshooter message.

How does the collection fail? Do you get any errors in the Operational History? If you do, what are these errors?

Hi Arielle,

The error I'm getting in the Operational History windows is, "unable to process event ID's"

This will continue on until I manually stop the service in Task Manager.

Hi,

In order to help us identify the problem we need some debug logs. Can you please enable debug logging as per http://kbase.gfi.com/showarticle.asp?id=KBID002896, then run the troubleshooter (Start > All Programs > GFI EventsManager 7 > Troubleshooter), ZIP the output files and send them to forums@gfi.com referencing this thread in the email.

Thanks.

Arielle,



Unfortunately the network that GFI resides on does not allow me to export any sort of file.  I will tell that after enabling debugging and running a full scan again, the error reappeared.  The only file in the DebugLogs directory that shows repeating errors is the EvtCollector.csv file.  When the failure begins, the following error is recorded over and over again.
 
Date:                12/21/2006
Time:                8:57_04
Milliseconds:       261
Log Level:          1
Process ID:        #000017d0
Thread ID:         #0000014
Event Type:       error
Source:             Extractor
Description:        ERROR: error finding the extractor
 
Hope this helps, if you need more information please let me know.
 
Thanks,
 
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Can you check if you have any errors 'Failed to load processing rules' preceding the error you have posted?

Thanks.

I received this email from your tech support team on this issue.

"I got some feedback from our developers today. This is a known issue where ESM has a problem with loading the processing rules.  A new build will be released later this month which will resolve the issue. I recommend that you sign up for build notifications (If you haven't already) so that you can be sent an email when the new build is released."
