Lost connection to OUM for capacity metrics

We've been collecting capacity metrics in harvest by connecting to OUM.  This has been working flawlessly for months.  Now, I'm not able to collect metrics.  I'm not aware of any changes that would impact this issue.  I've also rebooted the OUM server with no success.  Here's the log entries:

Does anyone know what would cause the "HTTP error"?

 

I also have a poller in another site.  I configured OUM on that poller and get the same results.

Hi @lornedornak

 

I would check if SSL can be connected from the poller host with:

poller-host# curl -k -v https://ocum/

 

If it gives some SSL related error then maybe try regenerating SSL certificate on the node that doesn't work?

 

I also recall a problem caused by a software update on the poller host from another user here, so maybe check that post too.

Thank You very much.  I received the same curl output as seen in your referenced link.

 

root@harvest:/opt/netapp-harvest# curl -k -v https://oum1

* Rebuilt URL to: https://oum1

* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache

Apparently ubuntu was configured to automically update and received the patch to close the SSL security hole, which broke my harvest connection to OCUM.  Upgrading OCUM from 6.3RC1 to 6.4p1 fixed the issue.  I'm now collecting capacity metrics again!
