Error message "failed to register FME Engine" keeps on repeating under System events. However.... the engine is registered and works just fine. The error repeats every minute and completely drowns out other logs. How do I stop it?

Ah! That did the trick.

I encountered the same problem. I have system events like:

Message: FME Server license does not allow more than maximum of 4 FME Engine(s).

Message: Failed to register FME Engine.

multiple times a day. I’m using system events in my automation and I have to filter engine messages out from “real” errors. I have deployed fme server in kubernetes but we don’t have any auto-scaling features enabled for fme-nodes. All engines and jobs seem to work correctly and license and engine deployment ui shows 4 engines as they should. What could be the reason for the messages?

Hi @jnknnn !

Can you try the following steps:

1. Set the Engine Count down to 0
2. Wait for all Engines to disappear from the Active Engines
3. Bring the Engine Count back up to 4

If that doesn’t work, feel free to submit a case with our support team to troubleshoot further.

 I assume setting the engine count from Engine Management > Engines > Hosts are feature only in the newer versions of fmeserver since I can’t find it (or not available in kubernetes version of fmeserver)? We are using fmeserver 2021 still. I could scale down the engine machines from kubernetes to zero and then back to 4 which would terminate current engines and create new engines from scratch. However, that would be bit of a hassle since it should be done in production environment.

Engine count can be found in server 2021 under ADMIN → Engine Management → Engines → Hosts.

Engine Management → Engines shows Total active engines: 4 as it should. I dont see Hosts -option
