Issue/Introduction:
The SystemEDGE agent stops responding to SNMP requests after pushing a new VAIM policy with extension monitors.
Cause:
Invalid\problematic extension scripts are causing the agent to hang during policy validation.
Environment:
Release : 12.9
Component : VPM GENERAL
Resolution:
- When a policy is deployed to a SystemEDGE host from VAIM the sysedge.cf file is delivered to the port#/temp directory.
- Once the the sysedge.cf file is validated it will be moved into the port# folder.
- During the validation process SystemEDGE will attempt to run all extension scripts included in the configuration to make sure they returning the expected result.
- Enabling debug on the SystemEDGE host you can see what monitor the agent validation is hanging on and take the appropriate corrective action.

2. Navigate to /opt/CA/SystemEDGE/config/port# folder
