Using your method, I definitely see more information, including an error asking to file a bug.

Mar 01 11:24:03 ns1.domain.com pdns[25559]: Control listener aborted, please file a bug! However, rather than starting this from the command line, I temporarily edited the bootup script. Maybe that's why. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pieter Lexis" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 1, 2017 3:11:21 AM Subject: Re: [Pdns-users] Monitoring question Hi, On Tue, 28 Feb 2017 15:29:14 -0700 (MST) NoBloat <[email protected]> wrote: > The manual at; > https://doc.powerdns.com/md/authoritative/howtos/#basic-setup-configuring-database-connectivity > > Says to start the monitor; > /etc/init.d/pdns monitor > > I have no such service, mine is installed in; > /usr/sbin/pdns_server > > Needless to say, searching the net for such keywords leads to countless > unrelated things. > > How do I monitor this server?

You can indeed look at the systemd journal (`journalctl -u pdns -f`), but that won't give you the console. We did not have this question in a while, you can simulate the `/etc/init.d/pdns monitor` behaviour by running (make sure the service not running): /usr/sbin/pdns_server --daemon=no --guardian=no --control-console --loglevel=9 I'll update our documentation on this, good catch!
