QRadar: Recon script returns error 'endpoint not specified'

Troubleshooting


Problem

After you run the command /opt/qradar/support/recon ps to check the status of the apps, it returns error "endpoint not specified".
NOTE: This utility should only be run from where the apps are running (Console or AppHost if it exists)

Symptom

/opt/qradar/support/recon ps
&ps.StatusResult{Check:(*ps.StatusCheck)(nil), Message:"endpoint not specified", Remediation:"", Value:1}

Cause

The hostname parameter is missing in the file /etc/sysconfig/network from where the apps are running. (Console or AppHost if it exists) ​​​​

Diagnosing The Problem

  1. Run the recon script.
    /opt/qradar/support/recon ps
  2. Verify the output says "endpoint not specified".
  3. Verify the hostname FQDN parameter is not in network file.
    cat /etc/sysconfig/network

Resolving The Problem

  1. Run this command to add the hostname parameter to the network file. (Console or AppHost)
    echo "HOSTNAME=`hostname -f`" >> /etc/sysconfig/network
  2. Confirm the hostname FQDN was added correctly to the network file.
    cat /etc/sysconfig/network
Result.
Recon script runs without reporting the error.
