Service logger stopped

[frankchavez]

I'm having an issue with our 2 Zimbra servers.
One is Network edition running on RHEL5 64-bit: Release 6.0.6_GA_2330.RHEL5_64_20100505193959 RHEL5_64 NETWORK edition

The other is a test server with open source version on CentOS5: Release 6.0.7_GA_2473.RHEL5_20100616214455 CentOS5 FOSS edition

There was an email sent to the notification email address about the logger service stopping:
Aug 17 04:03:15 mail zimbramon[11619]: 11619:err: Service status change: mail.fli.local logger changed from running to stopped

As can be seen, this happened at 4:03:15AM this morning.
It has emailed this same alert 4 times now. The first was the original one at 4:03AM, the 2nd was at 9:46AM, 3rd was at 11:14AM, and the 4th at 12:26PM

I've verified that the logger service is running. After it stopped, it started back up right away.

This doesn't happen every day with them. Just some days they do this. I have not seen both exhibit the issue on the same day. It usually pops up about once every 2-3 weeks, happens for just that day, and then once the /var/log/zimbra.log rotates it stops happening.

Every time this comes up I need to explain to the other people that receive the notifications that the service is indeed running and that there should only be the first email getting sent.

How does it track alerts that have already been sent?

This has been raised before in the forum (by me and others). However it nearly always happens at 4:02 AM for me.

[SOLVED] Zimbra logger service auto stops at specific time

Seems to correspond to an event in the daily cron job (see above thread). Perhaps you are running that event more often than usual.

Since several people seem to be seeing this, I just opened a bugzilla report: Bug 49974 – service logger stops, generating alert

I got this for the first time this morning running

6.0.8_GA_2661.RHEL5_64_20100820052503 CentOS5_64 FOSS

Same time of day as others have reported - Sep 22 04:02:14

I added a comment to your bug report too.
