http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1106366 Bug ID: 1106366 Summary: collectl daemon failed to start Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.0 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: glin@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- In my single CPU VM, the collectl daemon always failed to start without an obvious error or warning. # systemctl status collectl ? collectl.service - Performance data collection for a number of subsystems Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/collectl.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Wed 2018-08-29 10:00:37 CST; 9min ago Process: 1162 ExecStart=/usr/bin/collectl $OPTS /etc/collectl.conf (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1162 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) It turned out that the type of collectl.service is not forking, so systemd won't wait on the creation of /var/run/collectl.pid. In my case, the pid file wasn't created in time, so systemd just terminated both parent and child collectl processes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
