TIBCO LogLogic Log Management Intelligence | 5.0 |
Following an upgrade from 4.9.x to 5.0.0 on MX and LX appliances the engine_st_parser will fail to start.
The following messages are found in the /var/log/sys.log:
Nov 2 15:16:37 logapp MTASK: %LOGLOGIC-4 module:mtask(8504); file:service.c(svcStart,87); action:starting service /loglogic/bin/engine_st_parser ;
Nov 2 15:16:37 logapp MTASK: %LOGLOGIC-3 module:mtask(8504); file:service.c(service_monitor,505); action:ERROR: /loglogic/bin/engine_st_parser(8728) does not exist - restarting ;
Nov 2 15:16:37 logapp MTASK: %LOGLOGIC-3 module:mtask(8504); file:service.c(service_monitor,510); action:ERROR: Failed to access /loglogic/bin/engine_st_parser - disableing service ;
All further mtask operations on the engine also fail. This is because engine_st_parser no longer exists in version 5.0 and higher. In addition, some engine names have been modified. Here is a list of the modifications.
Lastly, the engine_st_parser binary was actually removed from /loglogic/bin/ in LMI 5.0 and higher. ST's are unaffected by the st_parser issue because they have neither engine_st_parser nor engine_lx_parser.
To ensure the proper node_config.xml is being used we can obtain its checksum:
$ md5sum /loglogic/conf/node_config.xml
Then we compare with a known good system. Below is the proper checksum and filesize:
Logapp root:/loglogic/conf 0$ md5sum node_config.xml
0270f0298f17fd29f497fa563a2ebe79 node_config.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33K Oct 7 11:09 node_config.xml
Use the procedure in the resolution section below to institute the proper node_config.xml file.
