(Azure) Scale Set and Skyline

[Nüüül]

Hi,

when trying to configure Skyline on Check Point Scale set I get:

# sklnctl export
couldn't get otelcol config exit status 1

Has someone Skyline / Telemetry export running on Scale Set Instances?

components seem to be installed.

   component-name: CPOtlpAgent
   component-branch: CPOtlpAgent_AutoUpdate
   GA-Version: 0
   download-scheduler-active: true
   install-scheduler-active: true
   download-action: idle
   install-revert-action: idle

     installation-date: 2024-10-15_17:31:35
     package-branch-name: CPOtlpAgent_AutoUpdate
     package-version: 26
     package-name: Check_Point_CPOtlpAgent_AutoUpdate_Bundle_T26_FULL.tgz
     package-installed: true
     package-installable: true
     package-previously-installed: false

   component-name: CPotelcol
   component-branch: CPotelcol_AutoUpdate
   GA-Version: 0
   download-scheduler-active: true
   install-scheduler-active: true
   download-action: idle

     installation-date: 2024-10-15_17:31:16
     package-branch-name: CPotelcol_AutoUpdate
     package-version: 97

Do i miss something?

Hi @Nüüül ,

Please see here, on the admin guide. The "export --set" is missing, also need to add payload.

Hi Elad,

sorry for misleading output.

the message mentioned comes everytime "sklnctl" is being called. 

[Expert@cpvmss000000:0]# sklnctl export
couldn't get otelcol config exit status 1
[Expert@cpvmss000000:0]# sklnctl export --set "$(cat /home/admin/ackme_skyline.json)" --on
couldn't get otelcol config exit status 1
[Expert@cpvmss000000:0]#

[Elad_Chomsky]

No need for --on , can you run '/opt/CPotelcol/GetOTDynamicConfig.sh | jq .'? do you see output? 

[Nüüül]

[Expert@cpvmss000000:0]# /opt/CPotelcol/GetOTDynamicConfig.sh | jq .
parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 3
[Expert@cpvmss000000:0]# /opt/CPotelcol/GetOTDynamicConfig.sh
No current version of the configuration is available

try to run /opt/CPotelcol/CPotelcolCli.sh set_dynamic_config "$(cat /opt/CPotelcol/config.json)"

and then the export command.

nice one! That worked instantly. Thanks a lot!

Will try to scale out later to see, if this was a one time issue, or comes up again.

OK, looks like a one time thing. new instance came up with working CPotelcol

(But something for my personal Knowledge Base 😄 )

thanks again @Elad_Chomsky
