IJ13937: IN 7.3.0.5(FP5) COMPUTERSYSTEM SENSORS (LINUX, WINDOWS, ETC.) SOMETIMES HANG FOR A TIME WHEN RETRIEVING AWS INSTANCE ID.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When Computer System Sensors run they now execute a command to
  get awsInstanceId which is found to be hanging for few minutes
  in some cases and then prints error message "WARN
  cdb.ComputerSystemAgent - Can not get instance Id" in the sensor
  log.  This may delay the sensor run times and may create
  performance issues. The solution for this will be that if the
  user does not use AWS EC2 targets, then for performance purpose,
  this command can be disabled through property
  "com.collation.discover.agent.sys.ComputerSystem.FindAwsInstan
  ceId"  in collation.properties.  The default value of this
  property will be false and in this case it will disable these
  commands.  If user wants to use AWS EC2 targets or AWSSensor ,
  then user will need to set the property to true.
  

Local fix

• NA
