Scheduler Not Running

Windows:

To test Windows Scheduler, run this command:

Get-ScheduledTask -taskname SUPERVISOR_TASKS


Output Examples:

Task is enabled. This is a good state.

C:\Users\Administrator> Get-ScheduledTask -taskname SUPERVISOR_TASKS

    TaskPath                                       TaskName                          State

    \Armor Defense\                                SUPERVISOR_TASKS                  Ready


Task is disabled. This is a bad state.

    \Armor Defense\                                SUPERVISOR_TASKS                  Disabled


Task is missing. This is also a bad state.

For bad states. Run this script.

    $start = "00:{0}" -f [datetime]::Now.AddMinutes((3 + 15)).Minute.ToString("00");
    $interval = 15;
    $schedule = "MINUTE";
    $user = "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM";
    $taskName = "\Armor Defense\SUPERVISOR_TASKS";
    $taskRun = "c:\.armor\opt\armor-supervisor.exe get-tasks";
    $arguments = "/create /f /sc `"${schedule}`" /tn `"${taskName}`" /tr `"${taskRun}`" /np /st `"${start}`" /mo `"$interval`" /k /ru `"${user}`"";
    Start-Process -FilePath "schtasks.exe" -ArgumentList $arguments


Example:

C:\Users\Administrator> $start = "00:{0}" -f [datetime]::Now.AddMinutes((3 + 15)).Minute.ToString("00");
C:\Users\Administrator> $interval = 15;
C:\Users\Administrator> $schedule = "MINUTE";
C:\Users\Administrator> $user = "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM";

C:\Users\Administrator> Start-Process -FilePath "schtasks.exe" -ArgumentList $arguments
C:\Users\Administrator> Get-ScheduledTask -taskname SUPERVISOR_TASKS

    TaskPath                                       TaskName                          State

Linux:

Verify job exists in /etc/cron.d/armor-job-SUPERVISOR_TASKS

If not, run this script:

SEED=$(( $RANDOM % 14 ))
CRON_EXPRESSION="${SEED},$((${SEED} + 15)),$((${SEED} + 30)),$((${SEED} + 45))"
CRON_FILE=/etc/cron.d/armor-job-SUPERVISOR_TASKS
echo -e "${CRON_EXPRESSION} * * * *\troot\t/opt/armor/armor-supervisor get-tasks" > ${CRON_FILE}


Output Examples:

Task is enabled. This is a good state.

[root@myhost ~]# cat /etc/cron.d/armor-job-SUPERVISOR_TASKS
0,15,30,45 * * * * root /opt/armor/armor-supervisor get-tasks


Task is missing. This is a bad state.

[root@myhost ~]# cat /etc/cron.d/armor-job-SUPERVISOR_TASKS
cat: /etc/cron.d/armor-job-SUPERVISOR_TASKS: No such file or directory
[root@myhost ~]#


Script. This will re-add the cron job.

[root@myhost ~]# SEED=$(( $RANDOM % 14 ))
[root@myhost ~]# CRON_EXPRESSION="${SEED},$((${SEED} + 15)),$((${SEED} + 30)),$((${SEED} + 45))"
[root@myhost ~]# CRON_FILE=/etc/cron.d/armor-job-SUPERVISOR_TASKS
[root@myhost ~]# echo -e "${CRON_EXPRESSION} * * * *\troot\t/opt/armor/armor-supervisor get-tasks" > ${CRON_FILE}
[root@myhost ~]# cat /etc/cron.d/armor-job-SUPERVISOR_TASKS
8,23,38,53 * * * * root /opt/armor/armor-supervisor get-tasks

Connectivity/Firewall

Ensure that your firewalls are opened to the hosts as noted in Firewall Rules section of the Pre-Installation guide.

Windows Test Connectivity

IP address and port for these commands will need to be entered and are found in the Firewall Rules section of the Pre-Installation guide.

(New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient).BeginConnect("IP_ADDRESS",PORT,$null,$null).AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne(1000,$false);
  • Windows connectivity test output should return a value of "true."

  • Windows connectivity test should not return a value of "false."

    • If test returns "false," investigate firewall blockages.

Examples:

This is the command run and value returned when there is connectivity to the service.

C:\Users\Administrator> (New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient).BeginConnect("8.8.8.8",443,$null,$null).AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne(1000,$false);
True

This is the command run and value returned when there is no connectivity to the service and your firewalls need to be checked for blockages.

C:\Users\Administrator> (New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient).BeginConnect("8.8.8.8",442,$null,$null).AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne(1000,$false);
False


Linux Test Connectivity

IP address and port for these commands will need to be entered and are found in the Firewall Rules section of the Pre-Installation guide.

timeout 5 bash -c "cat < /dev/null > /dev/tcp/IP_ADDRESS/PORT" && echo $?
  • Linux connectivity test output should return a value of "0."

    • If test returns anything other than "0," investigate firewall blockages.

Examples:

This is the command run and value returned when there is connectivity to the service.

root@myhost:~# timeout 5 bash -c "cat < /dev/null > /dev/tcp/8.8.8.8/443" && echo $?
0

This is the command run and value returned when there is no connectivity to the service and your firewalls need to be checked for blockages.

root@myhost:~# timeout 5 bash -c "cat < /dev/null > /dev/tcp/8.8.8.8/442" && echo $?
124
