Services not restarting on reboot

[Koldnitz]

Hello,

I have been messing with sensei this afternoon and in doing so have rebooted my router about 10 times.

I have noticed that netdata and syslog-ng sometimes do not come up with the server.  They have a few times, but mostly they do not.

This never happened previously on 20.1, I rebooted the router a whole bunch on that series because I hosed my configuration a few times.

Has anyone noticed this? 

I have not changed my config since 20.1 other than to turn off circular logging.

I am hoping nothing is corrupted because I really do not want to have to rebuild this thing again.

Cheers,

Is this happening to anyone other than me and jerry89?

Jerry89 posed in the postfix not logging thread and seems to have disabled circular logging as well.

Should I not disable circular logging?

I read in multiple places it was on it way out and was going to be removed.

I am not sure whats going on with netdata doing a complete reinstall to see if that fixes it

Cheers,

I'm having similar issues, syslog-ng never starts on it's own.  I always have to manually start it. 

[Koldnitz]

I just reset logs and that didn't fix it.

I turned circular logging back on and while syslogd comes up immediately, remote syslog-ng does not, and must be manually started still.

I guess maybe this is just a bug (I hope something on my system didn't corrupt)?

I wouldn't worry about corruption.  I just installed new hardware with a fresh install of 20.7 and am experiencing the same behavior.  My guess is it's a bug, you could probably use monit to monitor the PID and start it if it's not running.  Probably what I'll do. 

[FullyBorked]

If I can figure out the syntax to start the service I'll have monit up and working,  so far the commands I can find don't work.  I can monitor the service and test for it's existence, but can't make it it start. 

Code: [Select]

failed to start (exit status 0) -- '/usr/local/sbin/configctl syslog-ng start': Action not found

[FullyBorked]

This is what I have so far.  I cannot figure out the start syntax to put in monit that will actually work.  Maybe someone else can help me make it farther.

Service Test Settings:

Name: Does not exist
Condition: does not exist
Action: Start

Service Settings:

Name: Check_SyslogNG_Process
Type: Process
PID File: /var/run/syslog-ng.pid
Start: ?
Stop: ?
Tests: Does not exist

Same issue here, syslog-ng never starts on it's own and I've to manually start it...

I had to reboot 20.7 twice and in both occasions, as others have reported, I had to manually start syslog-ng. At least I can start this service unlike snmpd which refuses to start at all.

Kind regards.

I had an issue like this after the upgrade, so I re-installed and then setup with a backup.
Both syslogs are running, not checked if they were the issue behind a massive use of the disk over time.
