Resolution: As a workaround, do the following: 

  1. Verify if the infrastructure environment has load balancer configurations, and the settings are correct.
  2. Restart the PATROL Agent.
  3. Check the affected parameter in the dump_hist file.
  4. Verify if the problem occurs after the PATROL Agent is restarted. If yes, then verify if the respective KM is part of the preloaded list.
  5. If none of the above steps help to resolve the issue, provide the following data to the BMC Support team for further analysis:
    • Patrol Agent Diagnostic data

    • Patrol Agent Debug data

    • Dump_hist output
    • Affected KM debug data
