IDM Connection Error

ashish-gupta — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 11:18:09 GMT

I am trying to connect to a 4255 sensor with IDM,but am unable to do so. I get the following error "Error connecting to sensor.Failed to load sensor.- Error getting config data from the following modules:sshKnownHosts

Exiting IDM"

Anyone know why and how I can fix it?

you must have has specified some ssh known hosts in ips.

ips logs into these devices via ssh and puts a shun.

#####

as idm is not able to retrieve this info.,I would look intp the service sshknownhosts from cli :

Hi Sushil,

Thank you for your reply, but it is not clear what I have to do.

There is nothing in "service ssh-known-hosts"

! ------------------------------

service ssh-known-hosts

exit

! ------------------------------

Can you explain step by step, what is to be done as I am a newbie

Sushil,

I did an "IPS Recovery", and now I can can connect.

Thank you for your help. Off course I still don't understand why the error though.
