Server and the agent must be running as root (under centos linux)?

I have not seen anything in the installation documentation that mentions that it is advisable to run the Actual process and agent as root.  I noticed that, when is not running as root, the agent was unable to analyze certain directories, which seems a bit undesirable.

My plan was to create a simple script to call HQ - agent.sh power in /etc/init.d (for example) and then use symbolic links to standards in /etc/rc3.d to start and stop the agents and the server automatically.

Is this normal practice?  A bad idea?

Thanks for any advice.

As you have noted, there are many parts of the system that require privileges to access and monitor. The simplest solution seems to be to use the root user to run the agent, although more complex solutions using a properly assigned permissions, sudo for specific orders, or him are more synchronized with security best practices. I have personally not yet explored all the possibilities, but know has endeavoured to ensure the process is running as root is not a hard requirement.

A start/stop script looks like a very good idea. All right, in fact, you should find an example called agent.rc in the hyperic-agent-2.x.x/rcfiles directory. A point of departure in any way.

  • Change Assistant - "all agents must be running and sending impulses...". »

    All,

    I met a problem tonight with change Assistant that I am struggling to overcome. I have a single server instance running (HCM91FP2, 8.52.09, Windows 2008R2, MSSQL - Tools Web of DB, App, on the same box). I need to apply patches and I can not change Assistant work. When I go and you try to view the environment it is said that "all agents are running and sending impulses... before the beginning of change Assistant". This is a single server version, so there is only one of.

    Here's what I've done for troubleshooting:
    -Configuration of the Agent Checked:
    hubURL = http://XXX:8081/PSEMHUB/hub
    agentport = 5283

    -Check EM Hub configuration:
    hubURL = http://XXX:8081/PSEMHUB/hub
    agentport = 5283

    -Free all the usual caches for EM Hub and approx. Restarted everything.

    -Introduced the hub EM first, there is a nice clean screen displaying the URL.

    -A the Agent of EM. It gives this error at the start, I don't know if it's related or not:

    D:\ps_home\PSEMAgent > StartAgent.bat
    Sending "com.peoplesoft.emf.peer:id" pulse = 3
    Adding attributes PSAppHome: - > d:\ps_home
    Main EMF_CATEGORY ERROR - unexpected exception caught while instanciating an mbean
    null
    Adding attributes PSAppHome: - > d:\ps_home
    Main EMF_CATEGORY ERROR - unexpected exception caught while instanciating an mbean
    Sending "com.peoplesoft.emf.peer:id" pulse = 3
    Sending "com.peoplesoft.emf.peer:id" pulse = 3
    Sending "com.peoplesoft.emf.peer:id" pulse = 3
    Sending "com.peoplesoft.emf.peer:id" pulse = 3

    There is just an entry when viewing Employment Hub URL, and the agent is running, the correct IP ETC.

    -Change assistant. It pings OK, but the view button gives this error "all agents must be running and sending impulses... before the beginning of change Assistant".

    I have other environments on the same combination of app and tools (same OS and DB level too).

    Anyone have any bright ideas?

    Thank you

    Duncan

    What of the thrown error: unexpected exception caught while instanciating an mbean. Have you tried increasing the logging level? Open % PS_HOME%\PSEMAgent\envmetadata\config\Logconfig.properties. You can search log4j.rootLogger = info and replace 'info' with debugging or overall.

  • How to solve this error change Assistant? -all agents must be running and sending impulses for applications...

    I have a problem with the wizard to change and could not find a solution for it.

    When I go and you try to view the environment it is said that "all agents are running and sending impulses... before the beginning of change Assistant".

    Here are the steps I followed:

    -Configuration of the Agent EM: hubURL = http:// < localhost >: 80/PSEMHUB/hub agentport = 5283

    -Configuration of the Hub EM: hubURL = http:// < localhost >: 80/PSEMHUB/hub agentport = 5283

    -Bring the PIA first without any problems.

    -Bring EM Agent and get this error:

    Main EMF_CATEGORY of error - error reading cookies.xml cookiesrules.xml

    but he sends impulses anyway.

    -Configuration of the load change Wizard and ping to the host. OK, but the button results display gives this error "all agents must be running and sending impulses... before the beginning of change Assistant".

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you

    I had this happen a few times.  I work around this problem, but don't remember how (probably to do the cleaning agent and hub or maybe it was CA).  I think that once, I didn't have the time to screw with it, so I worked around it by pointing to a different HUB that already existed.

  • Media Center Question can I have set up as a server and the other two as clients, each using two of the tuners of the card?

    I have 3 computers running Windows 7 Professional, one of them has a four installed tuner DVB - s2 card. I want to configure it as a server and the other two as clients, each using two of the tuners of the card. I understand the media library is able to use the basic network TV tuning cards, so there must be some way for me to configure the server to send the information over the network.

    Any ideas?

    You will not be able to use your existing tuners like tuner network. Microsoft has
    arrested development of Media Center, so don't expect any new hardware/software to
    appear.

  • How can I retrieve the name of the server and the database to a system dsn

    Hello

    I am trying to create a database that will be used by many stores. Each store has its own server and the database and the access runtime version. I want to create a system dsn name, but allowing the administrator to modify the server and the database for that dsn and then, when you connect to the database, the database must be able to find this DSN and the 'new' name of the server and name of 'new' database and connect to point to this server and the database tables. I don't have a login form and I can get the name of the dsn, but I can't find a way to get the server name and database name for that dsn. Does anyone know a way to retrieve this from the registry. I can see it using regedit but have no idea on how to get this in vba access.

    This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  • LOB compression secure between the server and the client

    Hi all
    According to the doc:
    SecureFiles LOB compression is performed on the server and enables random
    reads and writes to LOB data. Compression utilities on the client, like
    utl_compress, cannot provide random access.
    I don't know about the server and the client model in compression. This means that when has a table with a column of compress instance A and instance B accesses the table, the compression is performed on the server? How to do an instance a server or client, in this context? What he means by "random access"? How can we ensure that if a server is running live?

    Best regards
    TA.

    How do with random reading and writing? What is random and write anyway?

    LOB manipulation - see DBMS_LOB. e.g. DBMS_LOB. WRITING, WRITEAPPEND, READING, etc

    You couldn't use these on something that has been compressed to the outside.

  • ERPI configuration: data server and the physical schema

    Hello

    I use ERPI11.1.2.1.

    I try to configure ERPI following the documentation of erpi_admin.

    It is said that to create the database server and the physical schema for ERPI, I must develop 'ERP Integrator' in the tab 'Physical Architecture' in the Manger of the topology of the ODI.

    But I have no 'Integrator of the ERPI' node 'Technical' below in physical architecture :-(

    Thanks in advance for your help

    You need technology that works on the basis of data of the ERPI. So if your the ERPI on Oracle database, expand the Oracle technology and then right-click and choose Insert database server.

  • Is it OK for the test server, and the server signs Local point to the same location?

    There seems to be three places where the files of my site: local files, server assessment and remote server.  I am happy with the remote server.  What I'm confused about are the other two.

    I understand that to build a site using mysql databases that I need to set up a test server.  Here is my configuration: Windows 10, CBWMS 2015.1 using XAMPP with the folder root of my site in htdocs.  I tested FormMail, hence the name of the site is formmail

    So, I open one of my files from the local files (right) Panel, modify it and it save (in the local files Panel).  I then use a preview in the browser to see my changes.  It seems that I didn't need to use was ABLE to move the file to the test server, because the file/s are already here, because as shown in the screenshot, the display of local files as the testing server view are in the same place.  What is the point of the testing server Panel?

    I know that I can put the Panel on the left with the remote server. This will allow me to sync with my ISP host.  If I put the left - and probably testing server Panel a sync is useless because the files are in the same place as the Local file?

    Maybe my setup is incorrect.  I guess my question is, is it OK for the test server, and the server signs Local point to the same location?

    Thank you gentlemen (and Lady!) I'll go forward with newfound confidence, Bravo.
