Cause
Watchdog successfully shut down the named application, and if necessary, watchdog will restart the application.
Proposed Solution
Procedure
- To verify the alarm, locate the application name or process ID (PID):
- From the Web interface, select .
- From the Linux command line, enter logv -w.
- On the standby server, look for occurrences of the stop command:
- From the Web interface:
Select View System Logs.
Select Platform command history log.
Specify the Event Range for the appropriate time frame.
Match the Stop pattern.
- From the Linux command line, enter listhistory.
- If a stop command was inappropriately executed, prevent any future misuse of the stop command.
Note:
From the system’s perspective, this is normal behavior. However, in terms of potential service outage due to human error, this is irregular. Shutting down a server effectively downgrades a duplex, high or critical-reliability system to an unsupported standard-reliability system.
- If listhistory shows no stop commands, Watchdog responded to abnormal internal processes by shutting down the application.
Check the trace log for information about this application:
- From the Web interface:
Select the View System Logs diagnostic and Logmanager Debug trace.
Specify the Event Range for the appropriate time frame.
Match the application PID as the pattern.
- From the Linux command line, enter logv -t ts
- Manually clear the alarm:
- From the Web interface, select Current Alarms and the appropriate alarm, and click Clear.
- From the Linux command line, enter almclear -n #id.
- Check if the alarm persists. If the alarm persists, go to the Avaya Support website at http://support.avaya.com to open a service request.
