[KB8600] ESET Inspect Connector installation troubleshooting

Issue

  • You want to troubleshoot issues during the ESET Inspect Connector installation

Solution

ESET Inspect Server and ESET Inspect Connector write error logs to C:\ProgramData\ESET\Inspect Server\Logs\ and C:\ProgramData\ESET\Inspect Connector\Logs\.

If you use Windows Firewall as your default firewall, the installation creates necessary Windows Firewall rules for communication between ESET Inspect On-Prem components. If the Firewall is disabled or you use a third-party firewall, ensure that ports 80, 443, 8093 and 2223 are allowed.

  1. To gather data on the installation process (both successful or failed installation), execute the installer package from an administrative command line along with some additional parameters: /L*Vx temp_log.txt

    Below is a sample command to install the ESET Inspect Server in silent mode and save logs to temp_log.txt:

    To run GUI - Mode installation and collect logs, use:  

  • msiexec /i "ei_server_nt32_ENU.msi" /L*Vx temp_log.txt"
  • msiexec /i "ei_server_nt32_ENU.msi" /q /L*Vx temp_log.txt P.DATABASEPASSWORD="yourDatabasePasswordHere"

The following is a sample command to install ESET Inspect Connector along with GUI mode and providing one optional parameter:

  • msiexec /i "ei_connector_nt32_ENU.msi" /L*Vx temp_log.txt /q P_HOSTNAME="localhost"
