Opsview - Send an empty collection plan to a collector

Sending an empty collection plan to a collector can be a useful troubleshooting step for verifying that the orchestrator can communicate with the collector’s scheduler.

Prerequisites

• None

Process

1. Log in to the collector as root.

2. Restart the opsview-scheduler component using opsview-monit.

/opt/opsview/watchdog/bin/opsview-monit restart opsview-scheduler

3. Identify all collectors in the collector’s cluster.

4. Find and note the machine.ref of each collector in the cluster.

5. Log in to the orchestrator as root.

6. Send an empty collection plan to each collector in the cluster using orchestratorgenerate.

/opt/opsview/orchestrator/venv3/bin/orchestratorgenerate -e <machine.ref>

Repeat this command for each collector in the cluster using each collector’s machine.ref.
