Learning About Problems
Troubleshooting the EncrypTight system should start with the status monitoring feature on the Policy
Manager (ETPM). Log files in ETPM, on the ETKMS, and on the PEPs can further aid support and IT
personnel in locating problem areas.
External ETKMSs and the PEPs include other troubleshooting aids. For complete information about
troubleshooting PEPs, see the documentation for the PEPs that you use.
This section includes the following topics:

Monitoring Status
As soon as you deploy the policies, the ETPM status indicators change to yellow momentarily. When the
policies are successfully deployed, the status indicators change to green. The status indicator shown next
to the policy name reflects the overall status of all the components that constitute the policy. To see the
status of the individual components, expand the policy tree. Table 65 lists each of the possible status
indicators.
