I have a file daemon that keeps dying on me, after it has been running
for awhile, for some unknown reason, and I would like to track down why
it is failing. Nothing appears in the system log files. A common
requirement for good robust software it to have the code well
instrumented so that the user can turn on logging to find out why a
failure may be occurring. Is the file and storage daemon's code
instrumented?
I did try starting the file daemon with the following command -
/usr/sbin/bacula-fd -v -T -d 10 -dt -c /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf
but that has not produced any output that I can find when running as a
systemd service. I looked in the working directory at /usr/share/bacula
but found nothing there either. (if I run it standalone in the
foreground I do get one line of output on the console terminal but that
is not going to be helpful for tracking down why it is failing when
running as a daemon process.) Where is this "trace" file located on
Linux systems that the -T option is suppose to be creating? Is that
location something that is user configurable? (it should be) I checked
the system log files, and nada.
I guess my bottom line question is, how does one turn on logging for the
file and storage daemons, I would expect it to be somewhat similar to
the way logging the director daemon is turned on, but I don't find any
documentation on how...
Whenever I see "logging problems" and "systemd" in the same message, I
presume that the fault lies with systemd, always. It saves time.
Up the level of debugging, 100 is the usual sensible level, and run
again in the foreground, and see if that helps.
Oh, did you build it yourself or use some pre-compiled version - if so,
bug whoever created it if it wasn't downloaded from the Bacula site.
Cheers,
