  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Watchdog email notifications

Pagemakers

Silver Pleskian
When my server reboots I get about 12 email notifications from Watchdog that services are being started.

I don’t get the same thing from my other Plesk servers upon reboot. How can I stop it?
 
I get this on the Parallels AWS EC2 AMI offering, but not on the one from CloudLinux.

At least I know it is working on the Parallels version. Not sure it if it is on the CloudLinux one or not, not yet anyway.
 
We have 2 plesk 12 servers. 1 sends the emails on restart and one doesn't. I had Parallels look at this and here is their fix.

> The difference of 2 Plesk 12 servers is in '/etc/init/psa-monit.conf' and '/etc/init/psa-wdcollect.conf' configuration files.

> Configuration files on the 2nd server contain '/bin/sleep 60' which prevents watchdog loading before services it should monitor. That is why notifications were not sent.
