ERROR_CEPP_NOT_FOUND in CEPA configuration
Hi All,
I'm trying to setup CEPA so that we can start pushing CIFS auditing logs to external syslog server. However it seems like there is a communication issue on CEE windows server.
cepp.conf:
cifsserver=A****
surveytime=90
pool name=pool1 \
servers=10.x.x.x \
preevents=* \
postevents=OpenFileNoAccess|OpenFileRead|OpenFileWrite|CreateFile|CreateDir|DeleteFile|DeleteDir|CloseModified|CloseUnmodified|RenameFile|RenameDir|SetAclFile|SetAclDir|FileWrite|SetSecFile|SetSecDir \
option=ignore \
reqtimeout=5000 \
retrytimeout=1500
CEE and RabbitMQ are installed on same windows 2016 server; On CEE and RabbitMQ server : location: C:\Program Files\EMC\CEE\MsgSys.xml :-
I can ping the CEE server IP address from server_2 and vice versa. Firewall is not enabled on CEE server.
Data mover is unable to communicate with CEPA server.
Please let me know if there is anything missing. Thank you!

Is the endpoint IP the storage array or what? I am confused about that the most.

Hello JoeyTheBoy,
No the IP is not the storage array. Which a third-party file event software are you using as that is the ip that is needed.

So if I am using RabbitMQ on the same host as the CEE/CEPA host would I do whitebox@127.0.0.1 or just whitebox and does it have to be whitebox.

It can be what you named it and 127.0.01

Ok so the error I am running into is "Cannot connect to CEPA server (ip) of pool (hostname)_CEPA_1 of NAS server (hostname): ERROR_CEPP_NOT_FOUND."
the ip that the storage array is connected to has cee/cepa and rabbitmq and the only thing i changed in regedit was the Audit/Configuration 'enabled' to '1' and 'endpoint' to 'CEPA1@127.0.0.1'and then for rabbitmq i edited the 'C:\Program Files\EMC\CEE\MsgSys.xml' to look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<MsgSys>
<MsgBus enabled="1">
<Host name="localhost" port="5672" username="user" password="pass">
<Exchange name="CEE_Events" vhost="/" type="topic">
<Message persistent="1" />
</Exchange>
</Host>
</MsgBus>
</MsgSys>What am I missing? I even restart the services after making changes and I still get the same error and both hosts can ping each other. What port needs to be open on the servers or what? Please help. Thank you so much!

I believe the default port is 12228.
