Troubleshooting
Never edit the KV Store Collections directly (e.g., with Lookup Editor)! This can have disastrous effects on the data integrity. Always contact support if you run into an issue that can not be fixed by following the troubleshooting guide!
Setting AME Log Levels
In case of a problem, AME support may ask to increase the log level. The log levels can be set under
Administration -> Configuration within the Logging tab. Each component of AME has its logger settings.
Heavy logging can impact application performance. The log level should be
reverted to INFO once the problem has been resolved.
Finding Object References
Object references can be found through the UI using the "Show Object References" button.
| Button | Function |

A Modal will be opened, which shows where an object is currently in use:
For a command-line version, see amelookupreferences.

The HEC Connection does not work
Testing a HEC Reciever Connection
To test if the HEC Receiver works, open the Health Check Dashboard under the Administration menu and run the HEC Test.
A Response: Success Toast-Message is returned if the HEC Connection works correctly.
Additionally, you can run the following search to check connection errors:
index=_internal sourcetype="ame:*" log_level=ERROR
If you see a connection timed-out event, check connectivity:
