SYMPTOM

PROBLEM

The EF_LICENSE_ACCEPTED parameter must be set to true indicating that you or your organization agree to the terms of the applicable ElastiFlow license. This log message indicates that EF_LICENSE_ACCEPTED is set to false, the default value.

SOLUTION

Set EF_LICENSE_ACCEPTED to true.

After the license has been accepted you will see the following log message when starting the collector.
