If no activity occurs when expected in the System Monitor Agent performance counters listed below:

  • Ensure the configuration is correct.
  • Check the LogRhythm dashboard for any error or warning events pertaining to the scsm service or the system where the agent is hosted.
  • Check the local scsm.log file for any related error messages.

To investigate performance of the scsm service, add the following performance counters to a perfmon console:

  • Check Point Logs Processed / Sec. Should show activity when receiving logs from a Check Point firewall if the LogRhythm agent is configured to collect them. If you observe no activity in the counter for extended periods, follow the guidelines listed at the top of this section.
  • NetFlow Packets Received / Sec. Should show activity when receiving NetFlow packets if the LogRhythm agent is configured to collect them. If you have the agent configured to receive NetFlow but observe no activity in this counter for extended periods follow the guidelines listed at the top of this section.
  • Rate Logs Flushed / Sec. Should show periodic activity when the agent sends log data to a Data Processor. In general, log data is sent to the Data Processor after each log data source is read.
  • Syslog Messages Received and Syslog Messages Received / Sec. Should show activity when receiving syslog logs if the LogRhythm agent is configured to collect them. If you observe no activity in the counter for extended periods, follow the guidelines listed at the top of this section.
  • SyslogNG Messages Received and SyslogNG Messages Received / Sec. Should show activity when receiving syslog logs if the LogRhythm agent is configured to collect them via a relay host. If you have the agent configured to receive syslog, but observe no activity in this counter for extended periods, follow the guidelines listed at the top of this section.
