Issue: If archiving is configured to use NFS and the connection to the NFS 
server is lost, the archiving process will stop working and the storage 
graphs on the user interface will not be displayed. 

Fixed: The issue has partially been fixed in the code. However, the other 
half of it needs to be fixed manually. Since the hotfix contains code to 
automatically set the NFS mount options automatically to the correct 
value, remove the 

-Dnovell.sentinel.mount.options

 property 

from the server.conf and restart the Sentinel Log Manager service to 
correct the problem. The code will automatically use the NFS mount 
options 

soft,proto=tcp,timeo=60,retrans=1

.

To restart the Sentinel Log Manager service, execute the following 
command: 

<Installation_Directory>/bin/server.sh restart

522907

Issue: On deleting a data retention policy an unnecessary exception is 
logged if the policy has events that match the specified filter criteria. The 
exception should not be logged because no real error actually occurred. 

Fixed: The exception is no longer logged. 

509112

Issue: On performing a search that returns more than 50,000 results. the 
event fields that were selected (by default) in the Select Event Fields 
window are not displayed in the user interface on scrolling through the 
search results. 

Fixed: All the events fields are being displayed.

529773

Issue: Event router server is not executing an action to send events from 
remote Collector Managers to the Sentinel Machine.

Fixed: Event router server is now able to send events to the Sentinel 
machine from the remote collector manager. 

528049

Issue: On the data collection page, the 

data logging

 on/off buttons are not 

working for the Syslog server event sources.

Fixed: The data logging on/off buttons now correctly turn the event source 
on/off and reflect the proper current state of the event source. 

524998

Issue: On the Internet Explorer 8 browser, the scroll bar to view the license 
is disabled.

Fixed: The license key can be viewed by using the scroll bar.

527023

Issue: An exception log message appears when archiving is disabled.

Fixed: The exception message has been changed to an INFO level log 
message 

Archive location is not configured

 when archiving is 

disabled. 

527306

Issue: server.sh script is not automatically correcting the permissions of 
the postgresql data directory before startup.

Fixed: server.sh script automatically corrects the permissions of the 

data

 

folder. The permissions of 

data

 folder reverts back to the old permissions.

Issues Fixed
