Troubleshooting a new GMS instance when there are no reports

Troubleshooting a new GMS instance when there is no reports and/or no syslogs coming

Verify that GMS has a correct IP assignment (static IP is required on the GMS server)

1. Check the IP address of the server where GMS is installed.
2. Then go to the System | Status page of the System Interface (/appliance) and verify if the IP addresses match each other.
   
   

   NOTE:It is a common mistake to assign a IP address of a firewall to Analyzer/GMS during installation.

   
   

If installed on a Windows server,

1. Go to services.msc and check if all services of Analyzer/GMS are running:
2. Restart all services.

Check if the unit is acquired properly by GMS/Analyzer.

1. Analyzer: Try to synchronize the unit with Analyzer.
   
   
   
2. GMS: Try to Synchronize information from GMS. 
   

Check on the firewall if GMS is correctly added
