[1.820] Public IP show's HASH Value [KNOWNISSUE]

Hi,

as public IP one devices shows a HASH Value and not an IP Adresse:

/etc/agent/cache.dump says the following:

key: ---> 'device.location' ::=
{
   "country" : "at",
   "longitude" : 0,
   "timezone" : "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Vienna",
   "state" : "01",
   "city" : "",
   "timestamp" : 1219053689,
   "latitude" : 0,
   "dst" : true,
   "ipaddress" : "HASH(0x8fe2278)",
   "zoneinfo" : "Europe / Vienna",
   "offset" : 7200

Regards,
Henrik

Hi Henrik,

Can you tell us what's the version of device reporting 'HASH' as ip ?
You may check it on ACC, Monitoring->Versions.

Cool [[:)]]

You may fix it by running on ASG (as a root):
/usr/local/bin/iplocator.plx --srvlist /etc/up2date/servers.geoip
Then restart acc-agent by running as a root on ASG:
/var/mdw/scripts/nextgen-agent restart

We will discuss how to handle it during up2date as it's leftover from

So,

I started the following command:

/usr/local/bin/iplocator.plx --srvlist /etc/up2date/servers.geoip

and the result was

Successfully wrote results to '/etc/location', exiting.

Looks fine, but guess what :-)

The IP in the /etc/location file is the IP of the ACC and not from the ASG :-(

This needs to give GOOD points.

Which ACC IP address do you see ?
IP locator puts IP address of the machine/gateway (if present) which is seen on external node you are connecting to. In other words if you are connecting to up2date server that's the IP address the up2date server sees.

In the /etc/location file on the ASG appliance is the IP Address of my
ACC Server which is configured to be the Up2Date Cache server.

If I understand you right, you say that behaviour is ok. But I don't think
so, because this IP Address is used for the public IP on the ACC. Now
if I use the ACC Server for Up2Date Cache for all my ASG's all public IP's
would be the same for all.

I hope I could explain right. If not, please let me know.

Henrik
