Issue/Introduction

In Operator Console, I see the group count intermittently drop to (0) and no groups are seen.

 

The primary hub is showing errors in the logs:

Aug 14 10:17:28:350 [4116] 1 hub: (nimVerifyLogin) cmd=queue_new frm=10.244.120.5/39685 failed 
Aug 14 10:17:28:578 [4116] 1 hub: verify - [target] prid=hub cmd=queue_list ip=10.244.120.5 perm=1 
Aug 14 10:17:28:578 [4116] 1 hub: verify - [source] id=nis_server ip=10.244.120.5 hub=Primary-hub (OK) 
Aug 14 10:17:28:602 [4116] 1 hub: verify - [target] prid=hub cmd=queue_new ip=10.244.120.5 perm=3 
Aug 14 10:17:28:602 [4116] 1 hub: verify - permission denied 

Environment

Release : 20.1

Component : UIM - HUB

Resolution

1. Log into Infrastructure Manager

2. Go to Security->Probe Administration

3. Click "New" to add a new probe.

4. Add nis_server with "admin" permission and IP mask: *

 

 

Additional Information

This will be resolved in an upcoming patch (likely 20.3.1).
