Symptoms



You are getting the following errors in the Event-Processing-Manager for Alert-Consolidation:

WARNING   [2017-04-14 14:06:32 EDT]   PropertyTagger::fillDataStructure(): Errors while reading conf/bunit-group.csv
Content ""hostname-{XXXXXXXXXXXX}","VirtualMachine","Default"" on line xxx in conf/bunit-group.csv is invalid

WARNING   [2017-04-18 09:39:03 EDT]   PropertyTagger::createPropertyRecord(): Illegal/unsupported escape sequence near index 17
String - domain\hostname
^
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Illegal/unsupported escape sequence near index 17
 

Cause

This is caused by special characters (squarely brackets "{}" & backslahs "\" in this case) that are not being escaped by the parser.

Resolution

In order to resolve this you will need to edit the generic-event-ptf.xml located on the Primary Backend in APG/Event-Processing/Event-Property-Tagger/Alert-Consolidation/conf

and change the string type value for all key-property that are referencing device from regex to string

so that this: <key-property delete-after-use="false" string-type="regex">device</key-property>
looks like: <key-property delete-after-use="false" string-type="string">device</key-property>

save the changes and restart the Event-Processing-Manager for Alert-Consolidation
