IBM Security Guardium audit process returns error's to the AGG Log, stating that a file Send, had Failed

Troubleshooting


Problem

On the appliance we see "Send" entries in the Aggregation log that have the status set as "Failed", the appliance has an audit process scheduled to be executed at the same time as those entries:
image-20230707093430-1

Diagnosing The Problem

To identify which audit process is causing the Failed send entries, we should identify the time of the error's and identify which audit processes are being executing at that time.
We can then use the option "run once now" on each one of the identified audit processes to identify which is causing the Failed Send errors in the aggregation log file.

 

Resolving The Problem

To resolve the problem simply recreate the audit process, you can use the original settings and query which the audit process was based on, but must recreate the audit process a new with a different name.
Once the new audit process is created matching the old, execute it to confirm it resolves the Send Failed problem.  Once confirmed the problem is no longer seen, you can rename the old audit process and rename the new with the exact same name.
