This KB article lists handy commands to quickly check the health status of your Software Vulnerability Manager on-premises environment. We will update the article over time, so feel free to bookmark it. 

Use these commands to check the health of your Software Vulnerability Manager (SVM) On-Prem server. Use them to check system resources, SVM services, synchronization, connectivity, and logs when troubleshooting server issues.

Check system resources

Check available memory

Run the following command to view memory information for the server:

cat /proc/meminfo

Monitor system resource usage

Run the following command to monitor system resource usage in real time:

top

Check disk space

Run the following command to view disk space usage:

df -h

You can also use a system-monitoring tool, such as Zabbix, to monitor server resources.

Check SVM services

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.x

Run the following command to check the relevant services:

systemctl list-units | grep -e scandaemon -e mariadb -e sgdaemon -e httpd -e crond -e haproxy

Check the SVM version

Run the following command to view the installed SVM RPM packages:

rpm -qa | grep csi

Check SVM synchronization with the Flexera vulnerabilities repository

Check the sync.log file to determine whether your SVM On-Prem server is downloading advisory updates from Flexera servers:

tail -n 30 /usr/local/Secunia/csi/log/sync.log

Test the connection to the Flexera vulnerabilities repository

Run the following command to test connectivity to the Flexera synchronization service:

curl -v https://sync.secunia.com

Review relevant logs

Review the following locations when investigating server issues:

/usr/local/Secunia/csi/logs/*
/var/log/messages
/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log

Rerun the SVM installation script

Run the following commands to start the server configuration script:

cd /usr/local/Secunia/csi/install
./installationProcess.sh
