===== Solution =====

Tailing the logs while recreating this issue revealed the following logs:

<code>

  * For the global admin tool to function correctly - all Errigal applications need to be active/reachable.
  * As can be seen from the logs above, the Noc Portal cannot be accessed.
  * Reviewing the Noc portal logs revealed that the Noc Portal logs had been zipped up (Likely root cause of why the Noc Portal was unavailable):

{{ :onboarding:snmpmanager:lblogs.png?nolink |}}

  * The way the logback.groovy works in grails 3 is the rollover only occurs when a new log line occurs the next day, if the noc portal was inactive this wouldn't occur and it looks like after a further 24 hours of no activity it zips up the last NocPortal.log file to NocPortal.log.gz and we would be left with no NocPortal.log file.
  * Run the following command to unzip today's log: ''gunzip NocPortal.log.gz''
  * The Noc Portal should now accessible but the global admin tool may not be :(
  * Time to restart the Noc Portal - ensure to run outage scripts prior to any application restarts. If this is a production affecting issue, it is necessary to inform the customer of any restarts.
  * Restarting the Noc portal should correct the issue and allow access to the global admin tool - be sure to verify this!!
