Cause
The agent is having difficulty opening a random port for listening for JFogbank (legacy foglight 4 agent) connections.
-
Resolution
The configuration file allows a specific port to be chosen for that purpose (for local connections only),
1) Choose a number in the range above 1024, and make sure it's not already being used by checking "netstat -a | grep LISTEN".
2) Edit the fglam.config.xml file, and find the <jfogbank> element. Within that is a <port>0</port> element; change the "0" value to the port chosen above.
3) Restart the Fglam
