Having a bit of trouble today with our BES Server.
The gather status report is giving numerous entries with the same error:
(example)
Url: http://sync.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/bfgather/assetdiscovery
Error Message: 11: Gather failed - General transport failure.
: non-retryable error: transport error 8: server is not available, try again later.\nhttp://esync.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/bfgather/assetdiscovery?time=11feb09:17:22
The BESGather service is having issues as also indicated on BESDiagnostics:
(example)
Test Failed: Verifying that the BESGather service can reach the Internet (This might not pass immediately after a fresh install).
Reason: BESGather reports it is not connected to the internet
The strange thing is the server is not currently having Internet issues. I am able to download patches via Bigfix, perform DNS lookups, and browse the Internet from this server successfully. It is just the BESGather service giving me ‘issues’.
Any clues as to what might be happening?
