Datastore service starts and fails

[MichaelGinzburg]

Hello, the ArcGIS Datastore service suddenly start to fail. After restart it works about a minute and then fails again.

No antivirus.

Researching logs I found following error:

com.esri.arcgis.discovery.nodeagent.NodeAgentException: com.esri.arcgis.datastore.common.DataStoreException: Attempt to start data store machine on '' failed.. Extended error message: com.esri.arcgis.discovery.json.JSONException: A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at character 1 of                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

            at com.esri.arcgis.datastore.plugins.DataStoreManagerPlugin.start(DataStoreManagerPlugin.java:81)

            at com.esri.arcgis.discove…

What can be the source of this error?

Thanks!

It looks like  a broken or missing JSON config file. Have you looked at the newest log files to see what they say? Edit -- yeah that's what you said already duh...

Try again -- is there any clue as to which file it's trying to open?

Hi - just wondering if you ever found a solution to this? We're having the same problem and can't figure it out. Thanks.
