Agent UI Fails to Launch

If installation folder permissions aren't set up correctly, then the Tetra File-Log Agent Windows user interface returns the following error: Tetrascience.Agent.FileLog.WinApp has stopped working

To grant the required permissions and resolve the error, do the following:

1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the installation folder (by default, C:\TetraScience\ ).
2. Right-click the installation folder, and then select Properties.

3. Select the Security tab. Then, select Edit. The Permissions for TetraScience dialog appears.

4. For Group or user names, select Users. Then, for Permissions for Users, select the Allow check box next to Full Control.

5. Choose Apply. Then, choose OK.

Agent Doesn't Start

If you select the Start button in the Tetra File-Log Agent Management Console and the agent status indicates it has stopped, do the following:

1. Make sure that the Agent is installed in the default folder path (C:\TetraScience\), not a different folder path. If the Agent is installed in a different folder path, reinstall the Agent by using the default installation folder.
2. Make sure that the folder name doesn't include spaces (for example: D:\File Log). If the folder name includes a space, remove the space.

Agent Doesn't Run Continuously

You can increase the Agent's reliability by setting a Windows Scheduled Task that ensures that the Windows service is always running. You can create the Windows Scheduled Task either during Agent installation, or manually after the Agent is installed.

To Set a Windows Scheduled Task During Installation

See Section 2: Set a Windows Scheduled Task in the Tetra File-Log Agent Installation Guide.

To Set a Windows Scheduled Task Manually After Installation

See Ensure Tetra Agent Services Run Constantly.
