Issue/Introduction

Seeing the Broker connection drops abruptly and traffic does not reach the VSE but the Broker Service shows as running and see the message  "The broker cannot be detected. Please make sure the broker process is running and try again." in the DevTest Portal under Agents,

 

Seen the memory issues first but after fixing them seen the below messages in log files.

Environment

lisa.pathfinder.broker.host configured to ip address in BrokerService.vmoptions caused the issue. 

Cause

Problem has been identified to be that BROKER was listening only over IP address as customer explicitly passed lisa.pathfinder.broker.host=<IP address> in BrokerService VMOptions file. 
 
But the Registry was trying to bind to Broker over localhost as found from Registry .log as part of lisa-pathfinder-invoke api started on 1505 port.
 

Resolution

After fixing the  -Dlisa.pathfinder.broker.host=0.0.0.0 in vmoptions file of BrokerService, the problem got resolved.
