CA UIM - hub process does not start automatically / Controller.cfg missing probe sections 

May 31, 2018 01:00 PM

Issue:
- The hub process does not start automatically after restarting the primary hub server. 
- Manually starting the hub.exe allows us to access IM however, most probes are missing and the remaining hub and controller probes do not start (in yellow status). 
Cause:
UIM - Windows environment
Resolution:
1. Go to Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\hub and manually start the hub.exe process. 

2. Access Infrastructure Manager and check the status of the hub and probes. 

3. If most/all of the probes are missing, its most likely that the probe sections are missing from the controller.cfg, this is usually caused by a corruption of the controller.cfg. 
- Go to Nimsoft\robot, open the controller.cfg and confirm if probe sections are missing. 

4. Stop the Nimsoft service and kill the manually started hub.exe process. 

5. You will now need to re-add all of the required probe sections to the controller.cfg, if you have a copy of the controller.cfg or a secondary hub controller.cfg please use it. 
- I will attach a copy of my UIM 8.51 primary hub controller.cfg as an example which can be used (all magic_key entries removed). 

6. Once the probe sections are in place, you will need to remove all "magic_key = ************" entries from each probe section, example: 

- Before: 

<nas>
   description = Nimsoft Alarm Server
   group = Infrastructure
   active = yes
   type = daemon
   command = nas.exe
   config = nas.cfg
   logfile = nas.log
   workdir = probes/service/nas
   start_after = alarm_enrichment
   magic_key = etABXGc//Wv2stc5V+FRZZ5v6e6r0EZYWsu6ix9yufXTZwm9p2QkqLQ1zP0F8Azd
</nas>

- After: 

<nas>
   description = Nimsoft Alarm Server
   group = Infrastructure
   active = yes
   type = daemon
   command = nas.exe
   config = nas.cfg
   logfile = nas.log
   workdir = probes/service/nas
   start_after = alarm_enrichment
</nas>

7. Once the above is complete, save the controller.cfg and restart the Nimsoft Service. 

8. Login to IM and re-validate security on all probes. 
- Select all probes -> Right Click -> Security -> Validate -> Yes All 

9. If a handful of probes still do not start, redeploy them from the local archive.
