Issue 1: The System Monitor manager shows the Agent or Sentinel Agent Install Manager (SAIM) status as Not Running.
Resolution:
-
Verify the Manifest File
On the agent node, ensure the manifest file is located at C:\ProgramData\Sentinel System Monitor\Sentinel Agent
-
Check Manifest Version Consistency
-
In the System Monitor Manager, go to the Rule Overview or Monitored Machines page.
-
Compare the manifest version displayed there with the version in the sentinelmanifest.xml file on the agent node.
-
If there's a mismatch, it may indicate the agent is not updated or not communicating correctly.
-
-
Restart the Sentinel Agent Install Manager service (SIMHOSTSRV) on the affected agent node(s) only.
Note: Do not restart the services on the manager node unless explicitly required, as the agent installation there is by default.
Issue 2: The system displays an unauthorized token error when you attempt to log in to the System Monitor Manager application.
Resolution: Clear your browser cache and cookies, then attempt to log in again
