Process not visible in Cockpit after successful deploy of war file in Tomcat

Hi Everyone,
I have just started using Camunda Tomcat. I deployed a simple war file according to the steps in this guide. The “catalina.out” file shows that the deploy is successfull:

However, it is not shown in Cockpit!
Does anyone has any idea about the reason?

Thanks in advance

Hi @NSh,

The below line from the logs file indicates that no processes.xml is defined.

ENGINE-08026 No processes.xml file found

The deployment descriptor file processes.xml is required. You can have an empty file

Hi @hassang ,
Thanks for your quick response.
Actually I had made processes.xml and it was included in the war file as I checked. I don’t know how I got that message. Anyway I made the project from scratch and it is working no. I am not sure what the problem was.

Kind regards,
