Appendix E Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting the IME

Time Synchronization on the IME and the Sensor

Symptom The IME displays No Data Available on the Events dashboard. A historical query does not

return any events; however, events are coming in to the IME and they appear in the real-time event

viewer.

Possible Cause The time is not synchronized between the sensor and the IME local server. The IME

dashboards use a time relative to the IME local time. If these times are not synchronized, the query

does not return any results. When you add a sensor to the IME, it checks for the time synchronization

and warns you to correct it if is in wrong. The IME also displays a clock warning in Home >

Devices > Device List to warn you about problems with synchronization.

Recommended Action Change the time settings on the sensor or the IME local server. In most cases,

the time change is required for the sensor because it is configured with the incorrect or default time.

For More Information

• For more information on time and the sensor, see Time Sources and the Sensor, page E-15.

• For the procedure for changing the time on the sensor, see Correcting Time on the Sensor,

page E-17.

Not Supported Error Message

Symptom The IME displays Not Supported in the device list table and in some gadgets, and no data is

included.

Possible Cause Click Details to see an explanation for this message. The IME needs IPS 6.1 or later

to obtain certain information. The IME still operates with event monitoring and reporting for IPS 5.0

and later and specific IOS IPS versions, but some functions, such as health information and

integrated configuration, are not available.

Recommended Action Upgrade to IPS 6.1 or later.

Installation Error

Symptom IME 7.1.1 installation is failing with the following error message: Unhandled Exception.

Error Number: 0x80004005, Description: Unspecified Error. Setup will now terminate

Conditions You are trying to install the IME over an RDP connection, which has 8-bit color depth or 256

colors. This is an InstallShield error.

Workaround Increase the color depth of the RDP connection to at least 16 bits.
