DescriptionMac agent starts and immediately stops
Installation and Administration
SolutionProblem
After installing the Mac agent, the daemon starts and immediately stops. The following error is in the /var/log/CollectorManager.log file:
collectormanager (rev b1e46e8 built on Mar 13 2017 at 17:29:50) starting at 2017-04-12T13:14:59
validation = false
use compression = true
server URL https://zfx.example.com:8080
Password not found in the keychain, recreate a username password
Release build
unknown error (cmclient_error_codes) reported 2
Solution
This issue happens when an incorrect value has been specified for the Mac agent ServerURL parameter. To check what value is stored for the Mac agent, open a Terminal window and run the following command:
sudo defaults read com.inquisitivesystems.collectormanager ServerURL
The value returned should have the correct ZoneFox server name (or IP-address), port number (usually 8080) and end with /api/, for example:
https://zfx.example.com:8080/api/
If the ServerURL is incorrect, it can be set to the correct value by running the following command, with the correct ServerURL, for example:
sudo defaults write com.inquisitivesystems.collectormanager ServerURL -string https://zfx.example.com:8080/api/
After setting the new parameter value, the daemon should be restarted:
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.inquisitivesystems.CollectorManager.daemon.plist sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.inquisitivesystems.CollectorManager.daemon.plist
