mfichera 2 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I've noticed that over half of the Macs on my network do not reliably connect back to the ERA server. Usually if a computer is turned off or asleep for a period of time, the Agent will not contact the server until a new Agent is installed or the computer is restarted several times. Same issue with MacBooks that are taken off network for several days or weeks at a time, they do not reconnect to the ERA when they are brought back. Any way of fixing this? The majority of the Macs have EES 6.1.16 and the latest version of the Agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Staff MartinK 375 Posted February 19, 2016 ESET Staff Share Posted February 19, 2016 Could you please run next commands on affected machine while AGENT is no longer connecting? Are affected machines using ERA 6.3? We had problems with socket-timeouts in previous versions of ERA (that is what happens after you wake up because there is no network for some time). Appending some basic diagnostic command that could help us locate source of problem. Checking whether AGENT process is running: sudo pgrep ERAAgent Checking state of AGENT's service: sudo launchctl list com.eset.remoteadministrator.agent Print errors from AGENT's trace.log: sudo cat "/Library/Application Support/com.eset.remoteadministrator.agent/Logs/trace.log" | grep "Error:\|Fingerprint" Checking whether crash dumps are available: sudo ls -la "/Library/Application Support/com.eset.remoteadministrator.agent/Dumps/" Print ERAAgent process information (in case it was running, i.e. pgrep ERAAgent returned actual process id): ps -p `pgrep ERAAgent` -o args,comm,etime,group,nice,pmem,vsz,rss,pcpu,pgid,pid,ppid,rgroup,ruser,time,tty,user Restarting AGENT service: sudo launchctl stop com.eset.remoteadministrator.agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially DNS resolving or hostname resolution could be reason for this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
