Issue/Introduction

We have installed a Web Agent on Linux.Despite the Web Agent is starting, it is unable to service
the requests.

Troubleshooting steps: 

1. After noticing the semaphore related info messages we suggested the
   customer to clean up the semaphore (Ref :
   https://communities.ca.com/message/241987912-re-unable-to-start-webagent?commentID=241987912&et=watches.email.thread#comment-241987912).
2. The handshake error was noted in the policy server logs. In
   response to this, we asked the customer to re-register the trusted
   host which was successful.

Currently, we see the following error in the webagent log:

1. [9091/4034889472][Mon Apr 30 2018
   16:40:16][CSmPluginManager.cpp:75][ERROR][sm-AgentFramework-00090]
   ADMIN: Missing or invalid plugin configuration setting
   'loadplugin'.

2. [9091/4034889472][Mon Apr 30 2018
   16:40:16][CSmAdminManager.cpp:191][ERROR][sm-AgentFramework-00270]
   ADMIN: Unable to get plugin context from the Plugin Manager.

3. [9091/4034889472][Mon Apr 30 2018
   16:40:16][CSmHighLevelAgent.cpp:122][ERROR][sm-AgentFramework-00400]
   HLA: Failed to initialize 'Administration Manager'.

4. [9090/3950962432][Mon Apr 30 2018
   16:41:14][CSmLowLevelAgent.cpp:5233][INFO][sm-AgentFramework-00510]
   LLA: Logging initialized.

I suspect some plugins or libraries are missing. How can we fix this ?

Resolution

In WebAgent.conf, include the serverpath and the loadplugin lines to solve the issue.
