Traverse: Troubleshooting device discovery or device dependency issues

PROBLEM:

Device(s) or device dependencies are not discovered during a network discovery

SOLUTION:

In order to collect the logs to troubleshoot dependency issue you need to follow steps:

(in case the discovery is on a DGE Extension - DGEX - the below steps need to be done on the DGEX and not the upstream DGE)

1. Shutdown all Traverse services

2. Log on to the server that has DGE installed

3. Backup and remove any file under

   a. <TRAVERSE_HOME>\topology\logs

   b. <TRAVERSE_HOME>\topology\report

   c. <TRAVERSE_HOME>\logs

4. Backup the configuration file <TRAVERSE_HOME>\etc\emerald.properties

5. Edit <TRAVERSE_HOME>\etc\emerald.properties and set "netvigil.discovery.saveshipments=true"

6. Startup Traverse's services

7. Run the discovery again (Administration > Discovery > New Discovery link)

8. Wait until Traverse generates the result, please zip and send in the following log file

   a. <TRAVERSE_HOME>\topology\logs

   b. <TRAVERSE_HOME>\topology\report

   c. <TRAVERSE_HOME>\topology\config

   d. <TRAVERSE_HOME>\logs

9. Please also upload any of the following files as well:

   a. <TRAVERSE_HOME>\topology\*.dsc

   b. <TRAVERSE_HOME>\topology\*.nvd
