Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? I have installed the server and collector on a Windows server without any problems, but when I come to install the agent for monitoring the integrity server on a Linux machine, it always fails:

Log file:

java.lang.NullPointerException

I am using the GUI to do the install but it fails whether I use root or the Integrity user. I've already wasted a day on this so would really be appreciative of any help.

Best regards,

Paul

    In the the <Integrity server install directory>/config/mksservice.conf file

    Try removing the quotations around mks.java.additional.XX=-agentpath:"<PSM Agent install path>\libdtagent.so"=name=<local name>,server=<server name: server port>,wait=15

    Thanks

    "Increase Integrity JVM Timeout to 10 minutes" box in the "JVM Timeout section"

    Edit <IntegrityServerInstallDir>\config\mksservice.conf

    Set the following property:

    mks.ping.timeout=300

    Also please make sure you have enough space /tmp

    Thanks

      Thanks for the info.

      ping timeout was already set and trying to set JVM Timeout to 10 minutes then returned a message box that it would not be set as I have less then 8GB heap space, which I already knew. However it then installed!

      The next problem is that my Integrity server will no longer start. The JVM stops immediately:

      From startup.log:

      STATUS | 2015/08/27 15:48:35 | Launching a JVM...

      ERROR  | 2015/08/27 15:48:35 | JVM exited while loading the application.

      and repeats until the mks.max_failed_invocations setting is reached.

      restoring the old mksservice.conf allows the server to start normally

      Any ideas?

      Best regards,

      Paul
