OMS agent can't heartbeat to Azure Monitor












0















I have an Ubuntu 14.04 setup in a POC environment and i've installed the Azure OMS agent on the device but it keeps getting socket bind exceptions and it can't connect to the Azure Monitor service.



I followed the steps here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/6cc360a4-7835-4861-b122-82a43479ccf5/microsoft-monitoring-agent-is-unable-to-connect-to-loganalytics-workspace-event-id-4008?forum=opinsights



But I don't have any firewalls setup in this environment so I am not sure where the traffic is being blocked.



Here is the specific error message:



temporarily failed to flush the buffer. next_retry=2019-02-07 02:41:03 +0000 error_class="RuntimeError" 
error="Net::HTTP.Post raises exception: SocketError,
'Failed to open TCP connection to redacted.ods.opinsights.azure.com:443 (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known)'"


Here's what I checked:




  • Port is open on the machine directly

  • Port is allowed through the VNET (allowed 443 outbound to Azure Monitor)

  • No external firewall on this subnet


So I am not sure wherelse the traffic may be getting block if the port is allowed through local firewall and the subnet, and there is no firewall. Am I overlooking something else?



Edit:
Yes I redacted the hostname. I haven't specified a host name or endpoint for the monitoring agent. As far as i'm aware you don't have to. It's working on another identical box. I followed Azure's procedure to install on Linux and started the service up: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/oms-linux



I can ping google and otherwise access the internet.
