Missing entries in log files just before/after reboot
Hello world,
One of the servers, a Fedora one,rebooted today (Luckily, a testbox).
I tried to get the reason the server rebooted. After going through the messages, I think that the log entries just before and after reboot are missing.
Please below: (****** is the server name, for privacy reason)
I understand there will be no logs during the reboot but, why exactly did the server reboot? I have two doubts:
1.Was the SNPD process with the error "missing ":" separator" the cause for reboot?
2. Why did rsyslogd run immediately aftyer the reboot? Can it help me trace the reboot cause?
Thanks in Advance.

The script should then check a specific directory called ‘report' in the home directory of each member of that dept.

Hi, all:

Under each, there are thousands of files.
It's quite obvious that there are some files missing in each. I just would like to find them. I believe this can be done by "diff" command.
However, if I change the above question a... (1 Reply)

pmdarsyslog
PMDARSYSLOG(1) Performance Co-Pilot PMDARSYSLOG(1)NAME
pmdarsyslog - rsyslog (reliable and extended syslog) PMDA
DESCRIPTION
pmdarsyslog is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from the rsyslogd(8) server. Further details about
rsyslog can be found at http://www.rsyslog.com/.
INSTALLATION
If you want access to the names and values for the rsyslog performance metrics, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rsyslog
# ./Install
If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rsyslog
# ./Remove
pmdarsyslog is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly. The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
installed or removed.
In order to use this agent, rsyslog stats gathering must be enabled. This is done by adding the lines:
$ModLoad impstats
$PStatsInterval 5 # log every 5 seconds
syslog.info |/var/log/pcp/rsyslog/stats
to your rsyslog.conf(5) configuration file after installing the PMDA. Take care to ensure the syslog.info messages do not get logged in
any other file, as this could unexpectedly fill your filesystem. Syntax useful for this is syslog.!=info for explicitly excluding these.
FILES
/var/log/pcp/rsyslog/stats
named pipe containing statistics exported from rsyslog, usually created by the PMDA Install script.
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rsyslog/Install
installation script for the pmdarsyslog agent
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rsyslog/Remove
undo installation script for the pmdarsyslog agent
$PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/rsyslog.log
default log file for error messages from pmdarsyslog
