Symptoms

When initially configuring Health Check through the Admin console on a single server installation, a warning message indicates:

Health Check detected that this is a distributed environment without shared logs. Configure shared logs in order to set up, schedule, and run Health Check from this page.

Cause

The appian-topology.xml file uses different server names in the host sections of the file to refer to the same server. In the following example, localhost and exampleHostName refer to the same server but are declared differently:

<search-cluster>
 <search-server host="localhost" port="9300"/>
 </search-cluster>
 <kafkaCluster>
 <broker host="exampleHostName" port="9092"/>
 </kafkaCluster>

Action

Update the appian-topology.xml to use the same host value in all fields.

Affected Versions

This article applies to all self-managed versions of Appian using the Health Check through the Admin Console.
