Troubleshooting steps

* 
NOTE: If the Search Properties tabs are displayed across the bottom of the Search Results page, double-click an event to display the event details for the selected event.

If the EMC events do not appear in the client as expected, check the following:

•
Verify that the CEPA (EMC CAVA agent service) is running on the Windows Server where the EMC events are being collected.
•
Verify that the Shared EMC Connector service (QCeeService) is running.
•
Use the following command to verify that the CEPP service on the EMC Data Mover is running and is in the state of ONLINE:

server_cepp <DataMoverName> -p -i

If the CEPP service is OFFLINE, restart the EMC CAVA agent service on the Windows Server. If that does not work, restart the EMC CEPP service on the Data Mover using the following commands:

server_cepp <DataMoverName> -service -stop
server_cepp <DataMoverName> -service -start

•
Verify that the EMC file server (CIFS) is valid on the first page of the EMC Auditing wizard. The EMC File Server (CIFS) field should contain the IP address or Netbios name of the CIFS to be audited.
•
Verify that you have selected those type of events in the EMC Auditing template. (Events tab in wizard.)
•
Verify that you have included the correct subfolders and paths in the EMC Auditing template. (Inclusions tab in wizard.)
* 
NOTE: Entering * will include all subfolders and paths.
•
Verify that you have not excluded the specified subfolders or paths in the EMC Auditing template. (Exclusions tab in wizard.)
•
If you set the credentials on the second page of the wizard, verify that you have selected the correct Data Mover for the selected CIFS.
•
Refresh the specified agent configurations on the Agent Configuration page to ensure the latest EMC Auditing template is being used.
