Troubleshooting AS Installation Failure Due to Auditd and SSH Certificate Issues

How to troubleshoot AS Installation Failure Due to Auditd?

Issue description:

During the installation and configuration UiPath Automation Suite, the following errors occur during the Infra install/Upgrade:

"Failed to load audit rules. Verify if /etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules has valid entries"
"SCRIPT EXITED ON ERROR CODE: 1"
"Infrastructure [Failed] Installing and configuring Kubernetes"
"The certificate key for vx1095834 (port: 22) is not valid. (The host certificate file (ca_keys) is not found)"

Troubleshooting Steps:

-- Verify auditd Configuration

  1. Check if the audit rules file has valid entries:
  2. cat /etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules
  3. Try loading the rules manually:
  4. augenrules --load
  5. If errors appear, verify that the rules file is correctly formatted and does not contain invalid entries.

-- Check for Puppet Configuration Overwrites

  • In some cases, Puppet may be running and overwriting the backlog_wait_time configuration in /etc/audit/audit.rules.
  • Verify the value set in the file:
  • grep backlog_wait_time /etc/audit/audit.rules
  • If incorrect, manually update the file and reload the auditd rules:
  • echo "-b 8192" >> /etc/audit/audit.rules
  • augenrules --load

-- Review and share Installation Logs

  • Check the logs in the specified path for further details:
    • cat /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/2024.12/installer/Infra_Installer/install-<timestamp>.log
  • If the issue persists, feel free to reach out to Product Support via a new Case along with the installation logs,
