Scope | FortiSIEM Supervisor (SIEM Version 6.x.x). |
Solution |
View the error log and see a similar log entry:
Reason For the Error: FortiSIEM is looking for a checkpoint record in the transaction log that doesn't exist or is corrupted. It is necessary to reset the write-ahead log and other control information of a PostgreSQL database cluster.
Proceed to the workaround: 1) Log into the super as root and stop the backend process #phxctl stop backend
2) Change the user to postgres and run the command to reset the write-ahead log:
#su postgres #/usr/pgsql-13/bin/pg_resetwal -f /cmdb/data
Write-ahead log reset
3) Switch user root and start the backend process
#phxctl start backend
4) Rebuilding app server can help any stale connections if Phoenix serveries are still down:
#su admin:
#cd /opt/phoenix/deployment/
#./deploy-fresh.sh phoenix.ear --force
