Ubuntu installation (not sure if that matters here).
Using the tcp/udp binding to get messages from my Elk security system. I get this error whenever I receive a message:
Error while executing background thread TCP Refresh Service java.lang.NullPointerException: null
But the funny thing is, I still get the actual message, and I can still do stuff with the message. So other than getting this error message in my log, everything seems to be working fine.
Here’s my tcp.cfg file
itemsharedconnections=true
bindingsharedconnections=true
directionssharedconnections=true
postamble=\r\n
updatewithresponse=false
charset=ASCII
And here’s how I am getting the TCP message:
String ElkString “Elk String [%s]” { tcp=">[192.168.1.210:2101:’’]"}
I’ve also tried
String ElkString “Elk String [%s]” { tcp=">[192.168.1.210:2101:‘REGEX((.*))’]"}
as I have seen this in the docs and forum postings here, but this also still generated the same error message.
Anyone have any ideas about this error message? Should I just ignore it since everything seems to be working?
