Troubleshooting steps if the network module does not start properly
Follow the steps below to fix Network Module-related issues. You may be able to resolve your issue in a step or two, but if not, keep moving through these steps until the issue is resolved.
Step 1:
Stop the
On-Premise Poller,
and restart it with
administrator/root
privileges. Wait ten minutes.
Step 2:
Ensure that the Network Module is downloaded properly.
-
Log in to the
Site24x7 web client
, and navigate to
Admin
>
On-Premise Poller.
- If the status of the Network Module is shown as Download failed , download it manually .
Step 3:
For the Network Module to function properly, there should be a certain amount of minimum space available in your disk and memory. Check if your system configurations
meet the system requirements for network monitoring
.
Step 4:
To run the Network Module without any glitches, you must have administrator/root privileges in the system where it is installed.
If you're using Linux, log in as root
user or as a user who is added to the
sudo
users' group.
To ensure you have been added to the
sudo
users' group:
-
Execute the command in your terminal:
getent group sudo | cut -d: -f4 - Verify if the output contains your username. If not, please contact your sysadmin to get it added to the sudo users' group.
If you're using Windows,
validate if you have administrator privileges.
Step 5:
Even after stopping the On-Premise Poller, some processes might not have been killed properly. Check and kill all
Java and Postgres processes
related to On-Premise Poller.
Step 6:
If the above steps don't resolve your issue, there could be a chance that the database is corrupted. If so, you can reinitialize the database.
Note: Follow this step only if you've newly installed an On-Premise Poller. Do not try these if you are monitoring your network devices from the particular On-Premise Poller.

Stop the
On-Premise Poller
.
-
Open
Command Prompt
