Randomly not connected ICG devices after upgrade


Somewhere I’ve read a thread about randomly not connected ICG devices after upgrade to > 11.08.330, but couldn’t find it anymore.

Learn more, read the entire thread inside the IGEL Community o Slack

I’ve faced same issue since upgrading some devices from 11.08.290 to 11.08.330, .360 and now the latest one 361.

Is there an known issue ?


Are you using UMS12/ICG12?

It is UMS12 but ICG 2.05.110:


A few ideas

please check if you can access: yourICG:8443/usg/server-status yourICG:8443/usg/server-status from this devices when it happens

checking Time between UMS, ICG and IGEL OS would be great. And if not done, specify a NTP Server on all three components

On logs side: UMS Server: IGELRemoteManagerrmguiserverlogs, Catalina

ICG: /opt/IGEL/icg/usg/logs/ may also help.

Is there a AV/Firewall between UMS and ICG? I would disable them temporarily

Thank you!! 👍


@member Thank you, I will check this as fast as possbile.

Stange – now I wanted to test the situation, and my device is connected to the ICG 😞 I will check this tomorrow when I’m back in my homeoffice – seems to be a very randomly issue 🙂

I can reproduce the issue after 5 times of reboot, 3 times the device is not connected. I’ve at least 4 devices with .360 and same issue here. Another issue apeears when ICG is not connected: the client needs about 3 minutes to reboot/shutdown. When ICG is connected, reboot and shutdown needs just 5 secondes.

a) NTP is set

b) ICG Log showes am entry like this:

[2023-06-22 07:18:31.859] ERROR de.igel.apps.usg.handler.PingPongSubProtocolWebSocketHandler.handleTransportError – java.io.EOFException

c) catalina log seems to be not written since upgrade to UMS 12:

Ok, I will open a ticket. But seems to be only related to devices with >= OS 11.08.330.


@member Regarding the extended shutdown time. I occasionally see this behaviour, but haven’t had a chance to really understand the problem. 11.08.236 ICG connected device. A shutdown will occasionally take 2 minutes or so, most of that time sitting at a black screen – visibly I can tell because the power led has not yet turned off. It’s a bit confusing because there are no visible indicators on the screen, just black as if it were completely off. Finally the led just goes off, and then I know it has completed shutdown. UMS 6.10.150 / ICG 2.05.110.


@member Yes thats the correct issue. Black screen until LED on the device goes off (2 -3 minutes).

But only if device wasn’t connected to the ICG. When its connected, shutdown runs in seconds.

I can only check this when I’m at homeoffice. So is there any logfile on the client where I can take a look for the ICG issue ?

On the server (UMS and ICG) I can’t see any connection errors in the timespan were my client was bootet and not connected to the ICG.

Because of the client is not connected I won’t see anything on server side I think. Also getting supportlogs via UMS from the device is not possible because it is not connected.

After 4 reboots the client is connected and I can get the the logs via UMS, but now there is no issue anymore 😞


journalctl mostly…


THX Sebastien, found some issues with journalctl, that I would like to analyze with our network team before opening a ticket. Seems that the ICG address sometimes connects to the external address and sometimes to the internal of the ICG.

Could someone help me to understand where ICG configurations are stored on the clients filesystem ? In UMS I can’t find any configuration issue so I think it’s something on the client itfelf. thx.


The files are: setup.ini and group.ini in /wfs

For IGEL Cloud Gateway Config: .icg.cfg


Checked out the differences between client that is connected to the ICG and the client which is not connected. But both do have the same .icg.cfg and group.ini entries for ICG setup. Very strange.

In journalctl the not connected client tries to connect to the internal address of the ICG server – on the client which is connected the external address is used. In both ways (connected/not connected) the .icg.cfg has the correct external address.

This realy only happens on clients with OS >= 11.08.330. With .290 anything works fine.

I would open an case @member but the problem is, that I only can reproduce it when I’m in homeoffice.

Additionaly – in UMS there is only the internal ICG server address configured. But Host (external) is empty. But I can’t edit the settings in the UMS to add the external host:


Ok, this is tough… Let me check if I see something on my end.


journalctl:

Sometimes 3 reboots and device is connected and the next 4 times the client is not connected. Rolling back to 11.08.290 with same policies no unconnected device after 10 times of reboots.
