Post OS upgrade from RHEL7 to RHEL 8, the syslog configuration changed causing the sysadmin to have difficulty obtaining the rsyslog process ID.
NCM - 10.1.X
1). Post OS upgrade from RHEL7 to RHEL 8 PID file name changed from /var/run/syslogd.pid
to /var/run/rsyslogd.pid
2). However in $VOYENCE_HOME/sysadmin/config/serverConfig.xml
syslog PID file is configured as /var/run/syslogd.pid
, due to which sysadmin is unable to obtain rsyslog PID in $VOYENCE_HOME/sysadmin/state/serverState.xml
file.
Edit the file $VOYENCE_HOME/sysadmin/config/serverConfig.xml
and set rsyslog PID file as /var/run/rsyslogd.pid
<MonitoredProcess desiredState="Running" logLevel="Verbose" monitorType="pid" processName="Syslogd">
<PidFile>/var/run/rsyslogd.pid</PidFile>
<OnStart>
