Description | This article describes how to troubleshoot the phFortiInsightAI process. |
Scope | FortiSIEM v7.x |
Solution |
Follow the steps below when the phFortiInsightAI process is down and cannot be started manually.
Note: Take a snapshot of the VM and backup of the existing configuration before making any changes.
# ls -lah /opt/fortiinsight-ai/
# cat /opt/phoenix/log/phoenix.log | grep phFortiInsightAI
Most of the time, it would be generic errors like 'Failed to get system process information(/opt/phoenix/log/phFortiInsightAI.pid)'.
# ls -la /etc/alternatives/java_sdk*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 58 Aug 19 10:31 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.422.b05-2.el8.x86_64
For example, the file /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.8.0_openjdk could have symlink missing or incorrect.
# ls -lah /usr/lib/jvm/ drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 135 Aug 19 10:29 java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.422.b05-2.el8.x86_64
# ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.402.b06-2.el8.x86_64 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.8.0_openjdk
The phFortiInsightAI process would be automatically started. |
