When adding the Data Aggregator as a datasource and testing it, we see "Data source communication failure". In the wrapper.log we see "Returning DS_COMM_FAILURE result"
DX NetOps Performance Management any version
A communication problem between NetOps Portal and the Data Aggregator
DS_COMM_FAILURE is a very generic error but it usually means the /etc/hosts file is mis-configured on either NetOps Portal or the Data Aggregator or both. Make the necessary changes to the /etc/hosts file and attempt to add the Data Aggregator again.
Another possible cause of a communication failure would be the firewall is running on one or both systems. Run the following command on each system: /etc/init.d/iptables status. If you get any output then run /etc/init.d/iptables stop to stop the firewall. Then attempt to add the Data Aggregator again
