Service discovery log files

Data in logs is available to assist in troubleshooting service discovery problems, as shown below.

Logs on the management server

Review the file %OvShareDir%\logOvSVCDiscServer.log for error messages.

Logs on agents

Review the following log files:

• Windows agents

  %OvAgentDataDir%\log\javaAgent.log
%OvAgentDataDir%\log\OvSvcDiscAgt.log

• Solaris or Linux agents

  /var/opt/OV/log/javaAgent.log
/var/opt/OV/log/OvSvcDiscAgt.log

Manual execution of service discovery

HP SiteScope Adapter gathers monitor and monitor group information from HP SiteScope with the tool sis_disc.exe. Note that this tool has the same Windows-like name on both Windows and UNIX nodes.

On Windows nodes, sis_disc.exe resides at the %OvAgentDataDir%\bin\instrumentation\ directory.
On UNIX nodes, it resides at /var/opt/OV/bin/instrumentation/.

Logging from this tool can be done by running with the -d switch on the command line, as follows: sis_disc.exe -d

A log file named sis_disc.log is created in the same directory as the sis_disc.exe file resides in. Review the log file for any error messages indicating errors encountered while reading the HP SiteScope configuration files.
