Error description

  • Approver Initials:    RP
    Reported Release:     622
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    
    When monitoring log events from an agent, and the event rate is
    very high, multiple events can be merged into a single buffer by
    proxy before they can be sent to the data server.  If the event
    rate is high enough, the buffer can grow large enough to cause a
    Monitoring Server crash.
    
    
    RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
    
    The crash is very difficult to recreate.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: EVENT PARSING ERROR IF N'<STR>' IS IN   *
    *                      THE SITUATION FORMULA                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF.                               *
    ****************************************************************
    If a UTF-8 column is part of the situation formula, this may
    cause the situation formula to get a parsing error. As a
    result, the event does not get sent from the hub monitoring
    server to the Omnibus/TEC Event server.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Ensure that all UTF-8 parts of the formula get parsed
    correctly.
