False error messages may appear in logs

Details

Detail name Value
Changelog Number 11686
Type Bug
Status Open
Affected Versions Exasol 6.2.0, Exasol 7.0.0

Description

EXAClusterOS periodically runs some monitoring tasks on all nodes, which check that required services are running and e.g. swap usage or load does not exceed defined values.

Some of these checks can occasionally also run on the database nodes, resulting in error messages such as:

2021-02-11 20:43:02.381068	Error	processes	n0021.c0001.exacluster.local not running (trying to restart): '/usr/sbin/ntpd'
2021-02-11 20:43:02.087609	Error	processes	n0021.c0001.exacluster.local not running (trying to restart): '/usr/sbin/dhcpd'
2021-02-11 20:43:01.881108	Error	processes	n0021.c0001.exacluster.local not running (trying to restart): '/usr/sbin/xinetd'

Workaround

These messages can be ignored.

Fix

The checks are executed in the right scope, which no longer raises these false errors
