AWS Discovery fails on large payload attachments - Known Error

AWS Discovery fails on large payload attachments Description If public image discovery for AWS is on and there are a number of public images, the payload size sent by AWS is bigger than the default payload size in the instance.

Steps to Reproduce

Go to sc_properties_list.do and set the com.glide.attachment.max_size system property to a small value, for example, 1 MB.

Note that this property takes a value in bytes, so for a desired setting of 1 MB, the property value would be set to 1048576 bytes.

Run AWS Discovery.

For more information, see the documentation topic Discover and view AWS resources .

An error message appears in the Discovery logs indicating that the payload attachment exceeds the limit set by com.glide.attachment.max_size .

Workaround Choose from one of the following solutions depending on your product version:

Prior to Helsinki : Because AWS public image discovery is set on by default, be sure to set the com.glide.attachment.max_size property to a large value (over 5 MB, for example) to decrease the likelihood of encountering this issue. Note that this property takes a value in bytes, so for a desired setting of 5 MB, the property value would be set to 5242880 bytes.

Geneva, Helsinki and later releases : As updated in PRB663054, Public image discovery is off by default after Geneva Patch 10 and Helsinki Patch 8 so the likelihood of encountering this issue is greatly reduced.
