Usage and Config Platform

Hi

I have a couple of agents having trouble the bigfix agent. They have stopped reporting inn and when i try to restart the service it does not want to stop. I ended up killing the process and starting the service up again. Then i get stuck with this in the log…

This is everything it says and it won’t report anything else. I have tried reinstalling. It work a couple of days and then it goes back to this.

I have about 2000 clients and there are 2 of them who has this error.

We are running 9.2.6 on the whole platform.

Anyone expirienced this or has a fix?

Regards
Melvin

Hello!

I would recommend opening a PMR.

You can enable tracing by setting the following registry keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client_BESClient_EMsg_Detail]
“value”=“10000”
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client_BESClient_EMsg_File]
“value”=“C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client\besclientdebug.log”
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client_BESClient_EMsg_EvalLog]
“value”=“1”

Then startup the client and see if you get a better message for where it’s getting stuck.
