I have a scenario where I need a load balancer
When a new tcp connection is initiated from the client, the load balancer much assign a server, and always route all traffic from that that to the server it initially picked

When I netstat, I see and ipaddress and port for the client. (connection) so it makes sense to use this as the identifier for that client

Is there any software in exisitance to do this? Or do. I need to write my own?

Hello,
I am trying to install and SSL certificate on a website after i've migrated it from Ubuntu to a CentOS server.
Everything is up and running but I can't get SSL working. Apache starts fine. My config test shows no errors. But when I try to connect to the server through ssl, in all browsers I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. I don't believe its an SSL issue but maybe a firewall. I don't know as im unfamiliar with CENTOS, Any ideas?

Hi everyone,

I'm searching for a tool to manage and monitor hundreds of Unix servers.
90% are on Debian but from Debian 7 to Debian 9.

I tried Cockpit and I really liked it but it is limited to 20 servers.
Webmin is not good enough.
I tried to install a CentOS server with SpaceWalk on it but I can't take the control of Debian's servers.

So I would like to know if you have some advice for me.

Tank you all.

Hi expert

What is the command to check the status of the IPSec in rehat linux 7 ?

I am using an older version of oxidized (rancid) to grab configs. It was build by someone else about three years ago. I'm trying to find where you configure the user ID and password to be used by the different network equipment. I don't see a reference to a user in /home/oxidized/.config/oxidized/config and not even a reference to device type PanOS which is what I'm aiming for.

I have some SLES 12.2 server where I need to monitor certain network traffic for diagnosing a problem that occurs every now an then. I'll try to record the traffic with tcpdump, and when that problem arises, I could dissect the correcponding network traffic with Wireshark.

I've set up a main script which contains

#!/bin/bash
tcpdump -iany -G $((30*60)) -n -w tcpdump.io.%F_%H%M%S.pcap -z ./tcpdump_postproc.sh net 192.168.1.0/24 or net 192.168.2.0/24 > tcpdump.statistics
./tcpdump_postproc.sh

Select all Open in new window

and a helper script tcpdump_postproc.sh for some postprocessing:

#!/bin/bash
gzip *.pcap
find . -maxdepth 0 -mmin +$((12*60)) -name '*.pcap.gz' -delete

Select all Open in new window

I'd expect that script to run indefinitely, creating capture files containing 30 minutes of data each, until I stop tcpdump with i.e. [CTRL-C] or kill. The postprocessing called after stopping (and whenever a new capture file is created) will zip the created capture files and limit the backlog of capture files to 12 hours.

So far, so good. Now to the problem:

tcpdump stops capturing data in the middle of the second file and exits (without error, as far as I could see).

What have I missed ?

While setting up a PXE boot server on a CentOS 7 machine, I encountered a strange problem with TFTP. I cannot retrieve any files from the TFTP server without encountering a timeout problem. The boot process comes so far that I correctly get an IP address and a file name from the DHCP server. However, when the boot files are to be retrieved from the TFTP server, a "TFTP open timeout" message comes. If I manually make a TFTP connection to the PXE server from a local computer, I immediately get access to the server. But if I try with a "get pxelinux.0" command, I get another timeout message.
My firewall is set up correctly and it also makes no difference if I completely turn off the firewall. SeLinux is also disabled.
If I make a tcpdump on port 69 I get the following message:

12:34:33.477401 IP 172.16.1.202.ah-esp-encap > tools.dmz.tuxme.dk.tftp:  27 RRQ "pxelinux.0" octet tsize 0

Hi Experts,

     I want to configure elasticsearch to a new IP address.  Currently, it is on a dev machine.  But I want to configure to a new IP address.

currently, in my elasticsearch.yml the current settings are

network.host:0.0.0.0

path.data : /var/lib/elasticsearch

path.logs: /var/logs/

inside /var/lib/  elasticsearch is link file to links to /mnt/elasticsearch

I want to install elasticsearch to new machine.  machine ipaddress is eg., 5*.25*.22*.1*,  

My questions are,

Do I have to install elastic search on this new IP address,

or can I set this new IP address as network.host path in the existing dev machine?

or do I have backup and restore to the new ipaddress?

Please suggest how to configure?

I had tried changing the network host to the new IP address, and copied elasticsearch folder to the new machine and set the path to path.data and I had set path.logs to new machine folder paths and restarted elastic search from the existing dev machine.

elastic search failed to start.

Please suggest how to configure the elastic search on this new machine.

With many thanks,

I am trying to start the web logic server and having issues which used to work earlier file

Please advise

to run below script to start web logic
/opt/scripts/bea_start admin
after login i cannot directly execute
i have to go to below directory to execute

cd /xyz/home/user123/opt/def/bea_domains/12/xyz_dev1/servers/xyz_dev1_admin/logs

i though below is absolute path and as soon as i login i should be able to run from
/opt/scripts/bea_start admin

also i have to run as admin only not as my user id

why i cannot run as soon as i login from root directory(if i am not mistaken that is what i go as soon as i login)

also how to see who all can run the script and how to change that script permission so that even if i login i can execute not just admin

Please advise

i am using above 3 separate greps one after other on 3 types of jvm files

how to combine them as one

zgrep 'MobileDevice' xyz_?.log.20181121.gz|grep 'USER123'| awk '$0>= "2018-Nov-21 00:01" && $0<="2018-Nov-21 23:59"' | awk -F '|' '$24>300 {print}'
i tried above which did not work
i tried below that also did not work


zgrep 'MobileDevice' xyz_*.log.20181121.gz|grep 'USER123'| awk '$0>= "2018-Nov-21 00:01" && $0<="2018-Nov-21 23:59"' | awk -F '|' '$24>300 {print}'
