AC Classic 7 Tracking Issue - No records created

[#1]

Hi,

I have a Adobe Campaign instance configure where the tracking server and AC are running in the same Machine.

The redirection of the links works and also the /r/test call.

But the /log folder is not being created under redir and even I run the tracking workflow or run "nlserver tracking -instance:MYinstanceName -download -update" directly on the server none tracking record is being created.

I checked the webmdl.log and didn't find any issue.

And need some help, I'm quite blocked.

The version of AC is V7 build 8857

Thanks!

Hi All,

I was able to solve my issue.

First, i did a build upgrade from version 8857 to version 8984. This was necessary in my case to stop the errors when I opened or clicked an URL in the emails.

My mistake was that I was using the command /etc/init.d/nlserver 6 status to check all the processes that were launched and the output seemed correct, that is, trackinglogd was launched correctly.

But then i check using nlserver pdump and the feedback of this command was that trackinglogd was not started at all. Simply by launching the command nlserver start trackinglogd@default and restarting the server it worked.

With the trackinglogd up, the log folder in /redir was created and the tracking was collected successfully.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Jose

I am also facing the exact issue as faced by federicom24805345.

We are upgrading AC version from 6.1 to 6.7

The web and tracking modules are running on the same host:

(1)Tracked urls are correctly published at (/app/neolane/var/<INSTANCE>/redir/url/2019)

(2)Our redirection server is correctly setup. All tracked urls  correctly redirect.

(3)Clicks are reaching apache logs correctly.

(4) Trackinglogd is running without any errors in the logs.

(5)The tracking workflow under adobe campaign is also working and is not showing any error's in the log:

Could someone pls help us to understand whether we need any configuration to tell trackinglogd process where to write logs? Thanks!

My case is similar as well, no logs are getting generated in .../var/<INSTANCE>/redir/log.

Main difference is the error log I posted before and that my tracking workflow finds no records to write even though it doesn't fail.

Can anyone please provide some insight at what could be happening to us??

Thanks!
