Candlepin logs

Support

Problem: Just trying to get some advice on what logs to search and what text to search to catch when the candlepin services stop. We’ve had all the candlepin services stop (infrequently, once every two - three weeks). Our logs are being forwarded to a aggregator. I’d just like to figure which log I should be looking at and maybe what text?

Expected outcome: Can catch when the services go down and initiate a restart of the services.

Foreman and Proxy versions: 3.5.2

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

Distribution and version: katello 4.7.0

To restart Candlepin, you can use

foreman-maintain service restart --only tomcat

Candlepin logs are in /var/log/candlepin I believe.

Thanks. I’m trying to look through all of the logs and try and figure out if there is a smoking gun to point at why it keeps failing? I have a script that will run foreman-maintain service status and restart it if the output is not OK, but that is a bandage. I’d like to figure out the real problem. :slight_smile:
