TLS ( Troubleshooting Procedure)

This document includes troubleshooting recommendations and procedures that can help you solve problems arising from the configuration and usage of connectors.

Perform the following checks:

  1. TLS Connector operates in two modes, check for the method that has been chosen to configure the TLS connector as per the environment.
    • Mode 1: If Client Authentication Enable is set to True, proceed from Step 2.
    • Mode 2: If Client Authentication Enable is set to False, follow the steps below:
      • Validate if the certificate and key is placed in the following path:
        • “/DNIF/AD/connectors/tls_connector/org-x.crt”
        • “/DNIF/AD/connectors/tls_connector/org-x.key”
      • Check the validity of the certificate from the time of generation
  2. Ports are open between log source and Adapter i.e, Listener port :: From LogSource to Adapter server
  3. Logs are received on tcpdump of Adapter.
tcpdump -nnnAvi <interface> host <HOST_IP> and port <Listener_port>
  • Verify the outgoing packets from LogSource to Adapter.
tcpdump -nnnAvi <interface> dst <Dst-IP> and port <Listener_port>
  • If IP address and port information is correct and still traffic is not seen on tcpdump, a firewall or the network could be preventing inbound traffic over the specified port. Verify using the following command or Contact your Network Administrator to proceed with the troubleshooting steps.
 iptables -n -v -L | grep <Event_Source_IP_addr>
  • If logs are displayed on tcpdump of Adapter but not on Console, then check if route has been configured. To check list of routes currently configured use the following command:
route -n
  • Login to the log source command line and test the server with ping utility using the following syntax:
ping -c 4 <Adapter_Server_IP_addr>
  • Verify if logs are being received on DNIF Console.
