PROBLEM:
Network discovery runs in a loop and later the status becomes STALE.
IDENTIFICATION:
Example: Sample discovery logs from <Traverse_Home>\topology\logs\discovery.txt
14:34:55 . loopmon noAddr - --------- Extensions --------------

14:36:55 . loopmon noAddr - ************** Progress *****************
Discovery in loop appears as above, it starts running in a loop with a keyword (loopmon) and percentage complete shows less than 100.
RESOLUTION:
Configuration on BVE
- Check site.properties file in <Traverse_Home>\plugin
- If it is not available then create a site.properties on the same path and add the below parameter.
traverse.discovery.network.timeout=120
- Save the configuration file
- Restart the correlation summary engine (CSE) and Internal communication bus (JMS) on BVE instance
Configuration on DGE/DGEx
- Take a backup of "<Traverse_Home>\topology\config\config.default" file
- Make below changes in original "config.default" and save the configuration
IPDAllowSuspiciousIP false
IPDPingPrimerPeriod 0
- Restart the data gathering engine on DGE/DGEx instance where the problematic discovery configured
- Run the problematic discovery from webapp ( by navigating to ADMINISTRATOR -> DISCOVERY)
If the network discovery still fails. Kindly zip <Traverse_Home>topology & <Traverse_Home>logs directory from DGE/ DGEx and attach it to an opened ticket with support. Please do not attach them here.
