    I have an issue with the status of my central manager showing red. The reason is that there is no import scheduled. What is confusing is there is no exports from the aggregator or imports set on the CM. Not sure why this status is valid.
    Any suggestions?

    Gordon,

    The exports are scheduled on Collectors to send the file to the Aggregator.

    Then the Aggregators perform imports of the exports.

    If you are not using this method, then you can remove Aggregation from the Customize Settings menu.

    Central managers would import if they are the only Aggregator in the environment and the collectors export their data to it.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Jennifer

    Thanks for your update. The exports are set up correctly on the collectors and the imports are working as expected on the aggregators. What I am confused by is why the central manager is red when there should be no exports up from the aggregators. I'm not sure why it thinks there is no import scheduled and the health is indicating that the aggregation is red on the CM.

    Kind regards

    Gordon

    Gordon,

    It sounds like you have it setup correctly. If there are no failures in scheduled jobs, you might want to open a ticket. Or you can check if there are some later patchsets that have been released that might address it if it is a bug.

    Thanks Jennifer. I thought that might be the case but just wanted to check with the community first in case there was another reason why the CM was showing Red in the Health topology. I'll get a ticket raised as it doesn't appear to be a known issue.
