Hi,
I have just noticed that syslog-ng is (probably) not running
in any of my guests! When I enter guest and issue "ps -e",
I do not see syslog-ng running. The same with "vps" issued
in host, it shows only one syslog-ng, running on host.
So I entered guest, tried to start it manually, but I got
this message:
web / # /etc/init.d/syslog-ng start
* WARNING: syslog-ng has already been started
OK, so let's try to restart it (just to be sure):
web / # /etc/init.d/syslog-ng stop
* Stopping syslog-ng... [ ok ]
web / # /etc/init.d/syslog-ng start
* Starting syslog-ng...
* Failed to start syslog-ng [ !! ]
* ERROR: syslog-ng failed to start
Of course, if there is no syslog, there are no new log
messages in guest. The last entry guest's /var/log/messages
(probably normal shutdown) is:
Jun 3 17:55:54 web fcron[6345]: SIGTERM signal received
Jun 3 17:55:54 web fcron[6345]: Exiting with code 0
Jun 3 17:55:55 web syslog-ng[6308]: Termination requested
via signal, terminating;
Jun 3 17:55:55 web syslog-ng[6308]: syslog-ng shutting down;
version='2.1.3'
Since then, nothing more guets's messages. File is rotated,
but empty. Concerning host's /var/log/messages, I have found
only one strange entry:
vxW: [xid #0] !!! limit: ffff8101373d2078[VM,9] = 33 on exit.
I do not know what it means, and I'm not sure it has something
to do with syslog-ng not being started in any of my guests
(host and all guests are gentoo, stable and updated)...
