Answer
Configuration change was made in SPC 2.5 to update process.
The AdminAgent starts to capture stdout and stderr. When an IUM server writes to its stdout, it is captured in the AdminAgent logfile and logged at WARNING level. AlarmAgent is not expecting this kind of logs, so it doesn’t know how to parse the records and you see a WARNING and ERROR for each record when AlarmAgent tries to parse.
