Hi,

Recently we have upgraded RHEL OS from 6.7 to 6.9, after upgrade we are seeing servicenow incidents not creating. We have observed below error messages in log file.

Kindly let us know if you can help with these error messages.

It looks like sn_ticketer_service_alert.pl or the system is configured to go through the rwestproxy-neurathdc.rwe.com:8080 and failing. Is this necessary? You can check the system proxy settings following https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... s-147.html. Can rwestproxy-neurathdc.rwe.com be configured to allow these requests?

Yes. Proxy configured on the server.

Can you PM a copy of the sn_ticketer_service_alert.pl script as well as gather a tcpdump catpuring the error? The tcpdump can be run with:

yum -y install tcpdump
tcpdump -s 0 -i any port 8080 -w output.pcap

Let it run while reproducing the error and use CTRL+C to stop it. Gather and provide output.pcap.

Please check in PM.

The script(https://roshamboot.org/retired-project/ ... rvice-now/) doesn't appear to work with proxies with the updates made to the system. This could be due to updates to perl, openssl, or other system packages. Are you getting any meaningful messages if you run the script directly on the command line? If you have another 6.6 machine you can install the script on and run it, I would try that and then try updating just specific packages to see where it eventually breaks to get an idea of where to look. The script mentions that is very simple proxy connection:
I've seen many cases where scripts or programs don't make a rfc compliant proxy request which may be the case here - the tcpdump would help confirm if you can provide that.

Hi,

We have recreated the issue in Test server where OS upgraded to 6.9 and able to produce the issue.

Sent tcpdump file. Please check in PM.

The tcpdump shows the proxy is rejecting the connection with a "400 bad request" message. This usually means the request isn't properly formatted for going through a proxy. The tcpdump that was provided isn't able to be opened in wireshark though so I'm not able to see the actual request.

Please check tcpdump output in PM.

If it is not useful, Please let me know your available time, so that I will show you output using Wireshark.

Please open a ticket at http://support.nagios.com/tickets/, reference this thread, and I will take ownership and provide some next steps.
