Troubleshooting One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS)
This section describes the tools to detect networking problems, and also how to collect core dump files and view the system logs of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS).
If you need to find the SPS appliance in the server room, you can use IPMI to control the front panel identify light. On One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions N10000, navigate to Basic Settings > System > Hardware information > Blink identification lights and click On to blink the LEDs of hard disk trays on the front of the SPS appliance in red.
The Basic Settings > Troubleshooting menu provides a number of diagnostic commands to resolve networking issues. Logfiles of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) can also be displayed here — for details, see Viewing logs on One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS).

The following commands are available:
-
ping: Sends a simple message to the specified host to test network connectivity.
-
traceroute: Sends a simple message from SPS to the specified host and displays all hosts on the path of the message. It is used to trace the path the message travels between the hosts.
-
connect: Attempts to connect the specified host using the specified port. It is used to test the availability or status of an application on the target host.
To execute one of the above commands
-
Navigate to Basic Settings > Troubleshooting.
-
Enter the IP address or the hostname of the target host into the Hostname field of the respective command. For the Connect command, enter the target port into the TCP port field.
Use an IPv4 address.
-
Click the respective action button to execute the command.
-
Check the results in the pop-up window. Log files are displayed in a separate browser window.
One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) automatically generates core dump files if an important software component (for example, Zorp) of the system crashes for some reason. These core dump files can be of great help to the One Identity Support Team to identify problems. When a core dump file is generated, the SPS administrator receives an alerting e-mail, and an SNMP trap is generated if alerting is properly configured (for details, see Configuring system monitoring on SPS and System logging, SNMP and e-mail alerts).
To list and download the generated core dump files, navigate to Basic Settings > Troubleshooting > Core files.
By default, core dump files are deleted after 14 days. To change the deletion timeframe, navigate to Basic Settings > Management > Core files.
