We have DXA 1.5 website and recently we have noticed that sometime the site goes down. Checking the logs shows the below error. I can see the context service error that says "An error occurred while resolving evidence using the Context Service". Can anyone suggest what could be the possible reason behind this issue?

  • Anything in the Context Service log file?

  • BTW: There are two other "interesting" errors besides the Context Service error: a {{NullReferenceException}} deep down in CIL.NET when trying to resolve the URL to a Publication and an "Error while showing Server error". I guess the {{NullReferenceException}} is the root cause and the Context Service error happens during error handling.

Check whether the "SDL Web Context Service" is running properly and "ContextServiceCapability"also properly registered in the discovery service.

<Role Name="ContextServiceCapability" Url="http://tridion.sdldemo.com:8081/context.svc"/>

  • Hi Rajesh Context service is running properly. Just to give you for info we have three web servers means (three DXA website hosted) web1, web2 and web3. The sites are working properly on web1 and web3. But issue is with web2. The configuration are same in all the three servers. The issue happens intermittently. So difficult to find the root cause.

  • @Indra, It's possibly missing value/content somewhere that's why getting NullReferenceException or web application is not able to communicate properly with Content, context services, what is the version of CM / CD is that 8.1.1 or 8.5?
