During startup of the Nimsoft robot, the Controller probe might report error code 111 or 10061 in the controller.log:

This is part of normal operations, as the spooler has not had time to initialize yet. It happens if you turn audit on and when unable to send the audit message (I'm starting...) to the spooler, the controller will send the message directly to the hub.
- TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. Generally, it happens that something is preventing a connection to the port or hostname. Either there is a firewall blocking the connection or the process that is hosting the service is not listening on that specific port.
This is not an error and the messages can be safely ignored.
To validate there are no connection issues, ensure the probe shows as "green" in the IM console.
You can use the probe utility also to validate.
Using IM console, press CTRL-P with the controller highlighted.
In the probe utility, select "check_hub" and click the green arrow.
