View the server version?

./extensiveautomation --version
Server version: 21.0.0

What if my connection to the server does not work? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~

If the connection from the client to the server does not work, an analysis is necessary.

The first thing to do is to connect to the server in SSH and execute the ./extensiveautomation --status command to check if the server is running.

  1. If the server is running then check:
  • network connectivity in the client and the server
  • a firewall blocking the https flow (443)

2. If the network connectivity is good and the server is working (or not), check the logs. The file is available in the [....]/var/logs/output.log directory. You must look for messages of type ERROR

How to fix the error “hping3 is not installed”? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~

This error occurs while running a test when the Pinger adapter is used. Indeed requires to have the hping3 system library installed on the server.

You have to retrieve the sources from https://github.com/antirez/hping and compile them:

cd hping-master
yum install libpcap-devel-1.5.3-9.el7.x86_64
ln -s /usr/include/pcap/bpf.h /usr/include/net/bpf.h
./configure
make
make install
