Description

Summary of Topic

These steps help determine if a Collector is successfully communicating and sending events to the Super.
If either of these are in question then follow these steps.
 

Solution Steps

1. Open SSH session on Collector
2. Run ‘pwd’ for making sure if you are ~ directory
3. Run ‘wget --no-check-certificate https://(super’s hostname):443/’
 
If there is a problem on network connectivity, you will see an error message such as ‘Timeout’.
Or, you will see warning message/error message for certificate if there is a problem on it.
 
Output example
[root@aki-co ~]# wget --no-check-certificate https://saas:443/
--14:03:47--  https://saas/
Resolving saas... 172.16.1.151
