mcollective ping doesn't find new decoder appliance behind firewall SA 10.4.0.2

[Anonymous]

While enabling an appliance at the SA 10.4 gui the script "/etc/puppet/scripts/addNode.py" is called the mco ping command.

In our environment, the new decoder appliance does not response the mco ping, altought the ampqs port is open

[root@saserver ~]# mco rpc rpcutil ping -I  0555a385-15aa-42bb-ac7f-568cf2406265

| [ >                                                             ] 0 / 1

Finished processing 0 / 1 hosts in 12017.67 ms

No response from:

   0555a385-15aa-42bb-ac7f-568cf2406265

[root@saserver ~]#

Does anybody has an idea, how to trace that "mco rpc rpcutil ping" and which ports/direction should be opened in FW for mcollective/rabbitmq/puppet.

TIA

Please do the following: "Open firewall ports 8140 and 61614 from all non-SA Appliances to SA Server appliance. You must open these ports so that the SA server can discover all your appliances and services."

These ports are already open.

192.168.0.100 is our puppetmaster.local (sa-server).

[root@LogDecoder ~]# curl -v telnet://192.168.0.100:8140

* About to connect() to 192.168.0.100 port 8140 (#0)

*   Trying 192.168.0.100... connected

* Connected to 192.168.0.100 (192.168.0.100) port 8140 (#0)

[root@LogDecoder ~]# curl -v telnet://192.168.0.100:61614

* About to connect() to 192.168.0.100 port 61614 (#0)

*   Trying 192.168.0.100... connected

* Connected to 192.168.0.100 (192.168.0.100) port 61614 (#0)

It seems that the server still requires different ports during discovering.

Then there would be some other reason why the ping is failing.

is there a time diff between SA and the device ?

There is 1 hour difference.

After ntp sync, it works! thanks a lot

Great.

Puppet and mco are heavily dependent on time sync.

It would fail even if there is few minutes difference.
