Manually installing the Events Service version 4.4 causes errors. What should I do?

[Deepanshu.Grover]

When upgrading or installing the 4.4 version of the Events Service, use the Enterprise Console. Instructions for installation can be found here.

Users who try to manually install the 4.4 Events Service without the Enterprise Console will see the following error message in the logs:

To resolve this issue, always install the Events Service through the Enterprise Console. See Best practices for AppDynamics 4.4 installation or upgrade for more information.

Another option is to open the event-service-api-store.properties file and fill in the following 3 properties with the same value (for example, making all of them "12345" works).

• ad.accountmanager.key.slm
• ad.accountmanager.key.jf
• ad.accountmanager.key.service
