Cannot enable OS collections for Oracle when using a RSA key pair (4212131)

Cannot enable OS collections for Oracle when using a RSA key pair

When trying to enable OS collections for an Oracle agent by using a new RSA key pair the message "Error" is displayed in the UI when attempting to "Test connection"; no additional errors are available in the Foglight Management Server (FMS) logs.



After the initial error, when attempting to manually add an RSA key credential from Manage Credentials dashboard error "Invalid Private Key Pass Phrase and Private Key combination" will be displayed; restart of the FMS is required in order to clear the condition.

WORKAROUND 1

Issue is triggered when trying to add or use an RSA key pair credential from the databases connection wizard; as a workaround the credential and resource mapping can be created manually and then the OS collections enabled in the agent properties:

1. Add a new Oracle agent using the wizard, but do not enable the OS collections.
2. Create the RSA credential from the "Manage Credentials" dashboard and add a resource mapping for the Oracle agent name.
3. Enable the OS collection for the Oracle agent from 'Agent Status'.
   - Select Agent | Click "Edit Properties"
   - Click on "Modify the private properties for this agent"
   - Enable "Enable OS collections"
   - Save changes
4. Create the Host agent from the Infrastructure wizard and choose the existing RSA credential.

WORKAROUND 2

Please contact Support for a hotfix patch for this issue for the 6.0.10 cartridge release.
