Agent 'No connection attempt accurred' warning

[Karl 0]

Setup

ESET Remote Administrator (Server), Version 6.5 (6.5.417.0)
ESET Remote Administrator Agent 6.5.417.0 (for Linux)

Hi,

I successfully installed the agent on my Ubuntu 18.04 client machine. The agent also successfully connects to the ERA Server and shows up in the server's Dashboard.

After one minute, I see a warning for my client in the server's Dashboard: 'Product is not connected. No connection attempt occurred.'

However, my client agent's log states that the connection to the server is working (every minute):

Information: CReplicationModule [Thread 7f32a2ffd700]: CReplicationManager: Success of scenario (type=Regular, task_id='<hidden>', link='Automatic replication (REGULAR)' (<hidden>), remote_peer=host: "<hidden>" port: <hidden>, remote_peer_type=3, remote_peer_id=<hidden>, remote_realm_id=<hidden>)
2018-11-10 15:33:26 Information: CReplicationModule [Thread 7f32a2ffd700]: CReplicationManager: Closing network connection

On the server I see an error every minute in the server logs, but I couldn't find anything online about that error code:

2018-11-10 16:02:22 Error: NetworkModule [Thread 7f4e4effd700]: Error code:104;Connection reset by peer; SessionId:81
2018-11-10 16:03:26 Error: NetworkModule [Thread 7f4e4f7fe700]: Error code:104;Connection reset by peer; SessionId:86
2018-11-10 16:04:26 Error: NetworkModule [Thread 7f4e4effd700]: Error code:104;Connection reset by peer; SessionId:89

 

When I restart the agent (service eraagent restart), then for one minute the warning in my server dashboard disappears. It seems to me, that the agent is not able to handle subsequent calls to the server. Only the first call to the server seems to work. However, the logs state every minute that the connection to the server was successful, so I am a little lost here. Any idea on that one?

 

Thank you!

It might be little confusing, but error:

Product is not connected. No connection attempt occurred.

actually means that ESET Security product (UEABVE or UESETS?) installed on this particular client device is not communicating with AGENT. By default, product should contact AGENT every minute, so In case this warning persists for a longer time, I would recommend to check whether installed product is actually running.

Ah interesting. Thank you for the fast response!

I have ESET NOD32 AntiVirus 4.0.90.0 running on my Ubuntu 18.04 client. Verified that the product is actively running:

Sadly, I am still seeing the 'Product is not connected. No connection attempt occurred.' warning. I dont see any reason why ESET NOD32 AntiVirus is not connecting with my local agent. Are the error messages 'Cannot unblock removable media' reasonable? I am running on Ubuntu18.04, so is it alright that esets_mac is executed? Also I see this at eraagent start in the logs:

Are some libraries missing in my case?

 

UPDATE:

I have to run the business version. I de-installed the NOD32 AntiVir version via ERA Server -> then the warning vanished. I then triggered a task to deploy the business AntiVir version on my client. It worked - no more warnings.

Thank you!
