Machine agent is conneting to Controller throught Proxy, We are getting below error in Machine Agent Log.

Not possible to provide complete Log from the Prod environment, as it is locked down.

I can do a Webex to show the same.

Looks like you are using SSL, are you sure you have the keystore file under the <machine_agent_home>\conf folder?

Hi Gurmista,

Thanks. Yes we are using SSL. By keystore file you mean the SSL Certificate file ? Where do you get this keystore file ?

Hi Muktabh,

Following article explains how you configure machine agent for SSL and how to extract the certs.

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Enable+SSL+for+Standalone+Machine+Agent

If your configuration is to make machine agent connect through a reverse proxy which in turn connects to the Contoller, then the SSL endpoint would be your proxy and in that case you would need to import the certs that are configured on your proxy into the machine agent truststore (cacerts.jks).

Saradhi
