Handling Procedure

View alarm information.

1. Log in to FusionInsight Manager and choose O&M. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Alarm > Alarms. On the page that is displayed, locate the row containing ALM-24012 Flume Certificate Has Expired, and view the Location information. View the IP address of the instance for which the alarm is generated.

Check whether the certificate file in the system is valid. If it is not, generate a new one.

2. Log in to the node for which the alarm is generated as user root and run the su - omm command to switch to user omm.
3. Run the following command to go to the Flume service certificate directory:

   cd ${BIGDATA_HOME}/FusionInsight_Porter_*/install/FusionInsight-Flume-*/flume/conf

4. Run the following command to check the effective time and expiration time of the HA user certificate to determine whether the certificate file is still in the validity period:
   openssl x509 -noout -text -in flume_sChat.crt

   • If yes, go to 9.
   • If no, go to 5.

5. Run the following command to go to the Flume script directory:

   cd ${BIGDATA_HOME}/FusionInsight_Porter_*/install/FusionInsight-Flume-*/flume/bin

6. Run the following command to generate a new certificate file. Then, check whether the alarm is automatically cleared one hour later.
   sh geneJKS.sh -f Custom certificate password of the Flume role on the server -g Custom certificate password of the Flume role on the client

   • If yes, go to 8.
   • If no, go to 7.
     

     The custom certificate passwords must meet the following complexity requirements:

     • Contain at least four types of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters.
     • Contain 8 to 64 characters.
     • Be changed periodically (for example, every three months), and certificates and trust lists are generated again to ensure security.

7. Log in to the Flume node for which the alarm is generated as user omm and repeat 5 to 6. Then, check whether the alarm is automatically cleared one hour later.
   • If yes, go to 8.
   • If no, go to 9.

8. Check whether this alarm is generated again during periodic system check.
   • If yes, go to 9.
   • If no, no further action is required.

Collect fault information.
