Skyline Status Inactive

Hi,

Skyline collector status shows inactive. The appliance is powered up with access to the internet.

I also noticed I cannot log in to "https://skyline_collector_ip_address_or_fqdn/ " with admin user and password.

Please Assist.

Hi @KennyNoah,

Welcome to Skyline Communities!

To reset the Skyline collector Admin account password:

  1. Login into the console of the collector appliance(using root).
  2. Change directory to /usr/local/skyline/ccf/config/generated/  - (cd /usr/local/skyline/ccf/config/generated/)
  3. Rename credentials.json to credentials.old - (mv credentials.json credentials.old)
  4. Reboot appliance.
  5. Admin account password will reset to "default".

Hi KennyNoah​,,

Any Changes on the collector side will be reflected after 2days of the change in Advisor/Viewer.

As we have made a change today, we need to wait for next 48 hours.

You may check the status in collector itself if all the services are in green.
