Troubleshoot engines by accessing logs and viewing errors.
When troubleshooting engines, access the logs from Settings & Info → Settings → Integrations → Engines and select the engine from which you want to download the logs.

Debug engines
The d1.log field appears whenever an engine is running. The d1.log field contains information necessary for your customer success team to debug any engine related issue. The field displays any error, as well as noting whether the engine is connected.
Note
If the installer fails to start due to a permissions issue, even if running as root, add one of the following two arguments when running the installer:
--target <path>
- Extracts the installer files into the specified custom path.--keep
- Extracts the installer files into the current working directory (without cleaning at the end).
If using installer options such as -- -tools=false
, the option should come after the --target
or --keep
arguments. For example:
sudo ./d1-installer.sh --target /some/temp/dir -- -tools=false
After installing the engine, check that the engine is connected to the Cortex XSOAR tenant and that it is running.
Go to Settings & Info → Settings → Integrations → Engines and verify that the engine is connected.
If the engine is not connected, run the following command on the engine server to check if the engine service is running.
sudo systemctl status d1
Note
If the Allow running multiple engines on the same machine option is selected, run the command:
sudo systemctl status d1_<Engine _name>
Access the d1 log on the engine server.
sudo tail -f /var/log/demisto/d1.log
If the engine service is not running, and there’s nothing relevant in the log, run
journalctl
on the engine server to understand why the installation failed.If the engine service is running, review the errors to see if the engine is failing to connect or if there are other issues (ignore all errors related to
\d2ws
, because this is not the same asd1ws
.) Most often, the server address is incorrect and you will see an error like this:error Cannot connect to [wss://<mainServerIP/HostName>/d1ws]: wss://<mainServerIP/HostName>/d1ws: dial tcp: lookup localhost: no such host. . Waiting 3 seconds. Will try until…
In this case, navigate to
/usr/local/demisto/d1.conf
and change theEngineURLs
parameter to an address the engine can reach. Check the addresses at the beginning of the upgrade_engine.sh file and update them to be the same as in theconf
file. The addresses should be a comma-separated list.Note
You can ignore the following error:
Cannot create folder '/var/lib/demisto'
The configurations that might affect the
upgrade_engine.sh
script are the following variables located at the beginning of the script:SERVER_URLS
TRUST_ANY_CERT
If you make a change to the baseURLs configuration, you must apply the change in
/usr/local/demisto/d1.conf
AND in/usr/local/demisto/upgrade_engine.sh
under the SERVER_URLS var.If you make a change in the
engine.connection.trust_any_certificate
configuration, you must apply the change in/usr/local/demisto/upgrade_engine.sh
as follows:If the
engine.connection.trust_any_certificate
configuration was set to true (trust any certificate), set the TRUST_ANY_CERT variable to -k.If the
engine.connection.trust_any_certificate
configuration was set to false, the TRUST_ANY_CERT variable should be blank (““).
To check the connectivity from the engine to the Cortex XSOAR tenant, see Troubleshoot engine connectivity below.
If the installation issue remains, open a support case with logs from the engine.
On the engine server, in
/usr/local/demisto/d1.conf
, set "LogLevel": "debug”.Restart the d1 service and let it run for a few minutes.
sudo systemctl restart d1
Note
If the Allow running multiple engines on the same machine option is selected, run the command:
sudo systemctl restart d1_<Engine _name>
Capture a
journalctl
:journalctl --since "1 day ago" > engineTroubleshootingJournalctl.log
On the engine server, tar up the log, conf,
journalctl
, and install log on the engine.tar -cvzf engineLogs.tar.gz /var/log/demisto /usr/local/demisto/d1.conf /tmp/demisto_install.log engineTroubleshootingJournalctl.log
During an upgrade, the upgrade file is sent to the engine server. A cron job running on the engine server checks if that file exists. The most common upgrade error is that the job is not running so the new installer does not run.
Note
If the installer fails to start due to a permissions issue, even if running as root, add one of the following two arguments when running the installer:
--target <path>
- Extracts the installer files into the specified custom path.--keep
- Extracts the installer files into the current working directory (without cleaning at the end).
If using installer options such as -- -tools=false
, the option should come after the --target
or --keep
arguments. For example:
sudo ./d1-installer.sh --target /some/temp/dir -- -tools=false
SSH to the machine.
Check the d1 service status on the engine server. It is possible that it stopped or doesn't exist.
sudo systemctl status d1
Note
If the Allow running multiple engines on the same machine option is selected, run the command:
sudo systemctl status d1_<Engine _name>
Access the installer log on the engine server and review the error.
sudo vi /tmp/demisto_install.log
Rerun the installer on the engine using one of the following options. You can open a second window and run
watch df -h
. If the problem seems to be disk space, you should resolve the disk space issue and then rerun the installer.Option 1
Download the installer from the user interface and copy it to the engine.
Add the following commands:
sudo chmod +x installer.sh
sudo ./installer.sh -- -y
Option 2
Verify that
/usr/local/demisto/d1_upgrade.sh
exists.sudo chmod +x /usr/local/demisto/d1_upgrade.sh
sudo /usr/local/demisto/d1_upgrade.sh
If
d1_upgrade.sh
does not exist, check if/usr/local/demisto/archived_d1_upgrade.sh
exists and that it was created at the time of the attempted upgrade.If the file exists and was created at the time of the attempted upgrade, run the following on the engine server:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/demisto/d1_upgrade_archive.sh
sudo /usr/local/demisto/d1_upgrade_archive.sh
The following provides instructions for troubleshooting connectivity issues from the engine to the endpoint.
Follow the instructions in network troubleshooting.
Ensure that the engine can reach the endpoint by running the following command on the server engine.
sudo curl -kvv <endpointURL>
If the engine could not reach the endpoint, try the IP with curl instruction adding the http(s)//, or try using ping.
If this works, add the IP to the /etc/hosts file with the hostname and try to reach the endpoint again by running the following command on the engine server
sudo curl -kvv <endpointURL>
If this still fails, then this is an issue of connectivity between the engine and endpoint and you need to resolve this with your networking team.
After connectivity has been confirmed via curl:
Try connecting within Docker without passing host networking.
docker run -it --rm demisto/netutils:1.0.0.6138 curl -kvv <endpointURL>
If this succeeds but the integration still fails, it could be an integration credentials issue. In that case, open a support case.
If without passing host networking fails, run the following:
docker run -it --rm --network=host demisto/netutils:1.0.0.6138 curl -kvv <endpointURL>
If this succeeds, add
"python.pass.extra.keys": "--network=host" to /usr/local/demisto/d1.conf
and retest the integration.If you see a Docker or Selinux issue, see Troubleshoot Docker networking issues .
If the installation issue remains, open a support case with logs from the engine.
On the engine server, in
/usr/local/demisto/d1.conf
, set "LogLevel": "debug”.Restart the d1 service and let it run for a few minutes.
sudo systemctl restart d1
Note
If the Allow running multiple engines on the same machine option is selected, run the command:
sudo systemctl restart d1_<Engine _name>
Capture a journalctl:
journalctl --since "1 day ago" > engineTroubleshootingJournalctl.log
On the engine server, tar up the logs, conf, journalctl, and install log on the engine.
tar -cvzf engineLogs.tar.gz /var/log/demisto /usr/local/demisto/d1.conf /tmp/demisto_install.log engineTroubleshootingJournalctl.log
This error might occur when a connection is established between an engine and the Cortex XSOAR tenant, because, by default, Linux does not allow processes to listen on low-level ports.
Error Message
listen tcp :443: bind: permission denied
Solution
In the
d1.conf
file, change the port number to a higher one, for example, 8443.Run this command:
sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip /path/to/binary
. After running this command the server should be able to bind to low-numbered ports.
This error can occur in the engine logs relating to a bad handshake on the engine trying to connect to a Cortex XSOAR tenant.
Error Message
Cannot connect to [wss:/xxx]: [wss://xxx|wss://xxx/]: websocket: bad handshake
Solution
Verify that time is synchronized on the engine to a reliable NTP source. When timing is off on the engine, this can cause a failure during the SSL/TLS handshake process. When time is resynced, connectivity from the engine to the parent server should be restored.
