Troubleshoot Outages
Skyhigh Cloud Connector behaves as described in the following outage scenarios. For assistance, contact Skyhigh Security Support.
Cloud Connector is Down In Normal Mode
- All states are persisted. When the process is restarted, Cloud Connector continues to process files.
- The file that was interrupted is not picked up automatically for processing and must be renamed.
- Cloud Connector does not process any logs during this period.
- Cloud Connector cannot receive any Syslog messages from the source.
- Data cannot be detokenized until Cloud Connector comes up.
- Skyhigh CASB can be used, but cannot display any detokenized data.
One Cloud Connector is Down in Active/Active Mode
- When Active/Active Mode is enabled, if one instance of Cloud Connector is down, other instances of Cloud Connector pick up processing.
- Once you have reset the disabled process, a message similar to the following is logged to the file shnlogprocessor-debug.log after server restart. This message is generated because every JVM has a different ID. The lock file is created and owned by the first shnlps process/JVM. The restarted shnlps process is not an owner of this lock file. This does not interrupt Log Processing:
01 Apr 2016 15:53:57,497 [ERROR] [main] LocksFileProcessLogDao | Failed to upsert FileProcessLog for: C:\shnlp_logs\Skyhigh_Generated_BC_Logs_20160401071947_4092787272.txt com.shn.common.io.lock.FileLockNotOwnerException: File is not locked by this JVM+thread
Connection to Skyhigh CASB is Down
- Registry updates and configuration fail to download.
- Because Cloud Connector requires authorization, a connection refused exception occurs.
- Cloud Connector continuously checks for access and recovers automatically when the connection is back up.
Log Collector is Down
- Cloud Connector can process logs but fails during event publishing.
- The connection is retried multiple times within the next 30 minutes to publish events.
- If not successful, events are lost and file processing is selected as failed.
