Synchronizer logs

Logs are a good way to troubleshoot problems with your Apigee hybrid installation. See Logging for details.

Synchronizer log entries

The following table describes the fields that you will see in Synchronizer log files.

Field Indicates
org: Organization name
env: Environment name
target: Path of entity to which the log entry represents
action: Action SYNC=Upstream sync action

REPLICATE=Replicate/download action

context-id: The contract version wherever applicable

For example:

2019-02-05 00:00:59,098 org:hybrid env:test target: action:SYNC context-id: mode: Apigee-Timer-5 INFO  CONFIG-CHANGE - SyncContext.syncUpStream() : Upstream sync started with https://apigee.googleapis.com

Understanding Synchronizer logs

If you need to troubleshoot a problem with the Synchronizer, look at the log files. The following table may help you troubleshoot errors may see in the Synchronizer logs. See also Logging.

Error troubleshooting

Logs are a good way to troubleshoot problems with your installation. See Logging for details.

Synchronizer fails to start

Below are a few errors and their remediation explained. Each of these errors message start with an ErrorCode of type sync.xxxxx. Below are possible error codes

sync.NullOrEmptyConfig

Message: Null or empty config supplied via com.apigee.sync.config

Reason: You will see this error message when the Synchronizer's configuration properties were not supplied properly.

Remedy: Make sure all configuration properties are populated with appropriate values.

sync.ConfigFileNotFound

Reason: The Synchronizer was set to read its configuration properties from a file but the file could not be loaded

Remedy: make sure the file is available and accessible during Synchronizer bootup

sync.IncorrectSettings

Reason: One or more required configuration properties are missing from the Synchronizer configuration or they values that are outside the expected range. The error should have more details about the exact property that is causing the problem. These errors are in-built into the parser to make sure that and setting errors are caught even before the service starts.

The following table lists some possible IncorrectSettings errors:

Error What's wrong
configuration.json.IncorrectSettings: [com.apigee.sync.config.json] Error:/controlPlane/retries numeric instance is greater than the required maximum (maximum: 3, found: 20) Value supplied to retries field in controlPlane section has exceeded the allowed
configuration.json.IncorrectSettings: [com.apigee.sync.config.json] Error:/controlPlane/connectionTimeout numeric instance is lower than the required minimum (minimum: 10, found: 1) Value supplied to connectionTimeout field in controlPlane section is lower than allowed
configuration.json.IncorrectSettings: [com.apigee.sync.config.json] Error:/controlPlane object has missing required properties ([\"contractProvider\"]) controlPlane section is missing the mandatory field contractProvider
configuration.json.IncorrectSettings: [com.apigee.sync.config.json] Error:/controlPlane/contractProvider string \"http://\\uapi.apigee.com\" is not a valid URI Contract provider URI is not a valid URI
configuration.json.IncorrectSettings: [com.apigee.sync.config.json] Error:/environments array is too short: must have at least 1 elements but instance has 0 elements The environments array must have at least one environment
configuration.json.IncorrectSettings: [com.apigee.sync.config.json] Error:/environments/0 object has missing required properties ([\"environmentName\"]) Environment at index 0 is missing the mandatory field environmentName
configuration.json.IncorrectSettings: [com.apigee.sync.config.json] Error:/environments/0 object has missing required properties ([\"organizationName\"]) Environment at index 0 is missing the mandatory field organizationName
configuration.json.IncorrectSettings: [com.apigee.sync.config.json] Error:/environments/0/pollInterval numeric instance is lower than the required minimum (minimum: 60, found: 6) Environment at index 0 has a poll interval which is under the allowed limit of 60

Remedy: Fix the setting to include the required block

sync.ReplicationRootDoesNotExist

Reason: The Synchronizer was supplied with a replication root which does not exist

Remedy: make sure the supplied root folder exists and is writeable

sync.ReadOnlyReplicationRoot

Reason: The Synchronizer was supplied with a replication root which do not have write permissions

Remedy: make sure the supplied root folder exists and is writeable

sync.ReplicationRootNotADir

Reason: The Synchronizer was supplied with a replication root which is possibly a file

Remedy: make sure the supplied root folder exists and is writeable

sync.InvalidControlPlaneURL

Reason: The Synchronizer was supplied with a config URL which is empty

Remedy: Make sure the supplied root folder exists and is writeable

sync.InvalidControlPlaneSubscriptionURL

Reason: The Synchronizer was supplied with an incorrect, incomplete, or empty config URL for subscription creation.

Remedy: Correct the URL to a valid config URL for pub/sub subscription creation to handle signals from control plane.

sync.InvalidControlPlaneUnsubscriptionURL

Reason: The Synchronizer was supplied with an incorrect, incomplete, or empty config URL for subscription deletion.

Remedy: Correct the URL to a valid config URL for pub/sub subscription deletion to handle signals from control plane.

sync.CannotCreateEnvironmentFolder

Reason: The Synchronizer tried to create a folder for replicating environment qa but could not create the required folder

Remedy: make sure the replication root does not have a conflicting path with the same name which is either read-only of a file

sync.DuplicateEnvironmentEntries

Reason: The same environment was added multiple times in the configuration.

Remedy: Every environment can be specified only once.

sync.DiskExceedsAllowedCapacity

Reason: The supplied storage disk is already at threshold capacity supplied via the configuration properties.

Remedy: Make sure there is enough disk space or check if the storage settings can be tweaked to allow more disk space.

sync.OwnershipClaimFailed

Reason: Synchronizer tried to claim ownership on the environment folder but failed

Remedy: every Synchronizer will first try to make sure it is a sole writer to the file system. The error indicates the path and the reason for the failure. Address the root cause

Synchronizer errors during runtime

The following Synchronizer errors can occur during runtime.

sync.replicators.PollReturnedError

Associated message will include the upstream status. Below are the error statuses

status 0

Reason: Indicates a connectivity issue. The management plane was not reachable

Remedy: Make sure the management plane details are correct and the contracts API is reachable

status 404

Reason: Most likely the org/env name is not found on the server

Remedy: Make sure the management plane details are correct and the contracts API is reachable

status 401

Reason: Most likely credentials supplied do not have the org admin privileges.

Remedy: Make sure the management plane credentials are correct and the contracts API is reachable

status 403

Reason: Indicates the environment being polled for is not set up as hybrid environment

Remedy: Make sure the org has the required flag "features.hybrid.enabled=true"

sync.OwnershipClaimedByOther

Reason: During the operation Synchronizer found that the file root is being accessed by another instance of Synchronizer. (This can happen when a file system is shared among Synchronizers.)

Remedy: Address the root problem to make sure no two Synchronizer instances share the same file system. The Synchronizer would have marked itself down and would be in an unrecoverable position here. It would also make sure the other Synchronizer which is accessing the same file root gets notified about it via their ownership files

sync.DiskExceedsAllowedCapacity

Reason: During the operation Synchronizer realized that the disk occupancy has exceeded the allowed limit.

Remedy: At this point Synchronizer would abort any downloads and try a stale file cleanup operation. However this may become a recurring condition and the only way to recover completely is to make sure the Synchronizer has enough disk memory to operate.

Diagnose contract download failures

If you see "upstream contract poll" in an error message, try calling the contract API and check the details, where username is your Apigee username (your email address). The contract represents the entire collection of data that the Synchronizer downloads from the management plane.

curl https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/org/environments/env/contracts/1.0 -u username
