WatchDog Module not Enabling

pould

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

Since upgrading to 10.1.1, Watchdog is not working. I attempted to re-enable it and get the following error message.

"The monit service does not respond. Refer to Parallels technical support for help."

Any idea how to progress?
 
Today, I upgraded from 10.0.1 to Plesk 10.1.1, and I have exactly the same problem.

If I try to enable a watchdog service I get this error:
Fout: Unable to process /usr/local/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/monitrc.tpl configuration file:
/usr/local/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/service.d/kav:4: Error: the executable does not exist '<kavehost_start>'
/usr/local/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/service.d/kav:5: Error: the executable does not exist '<kavehost_stop>'
/usr/local/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/service.d/kav:6: Error: syntax error '<kavehost_timeout_restarts>'
Please help.

same problem

ubuntu 8.04 plesk 10.1.1 upgrade.

i've removed watchdog:

apt-get --purge remove psa-watchdog

and reinstall again:

apt-get install psa-watchdog

And then works!

PD: I have troubleshootings with watchdog, it's seem like it's not monitoring apache2 service ( I stop manually, refresh, but wd shows as service is up)
 
Great idea. Unistalled fine, but when I tried to reinstall I get this:

Package psa-watchdog is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package psa-watchdog has no installation candidate

Any ideas?
 
Great minds think alike! I was doing that when your reply came into my inbox.

Guess what? It works now! Hurrah! Thanks so much.
 
Wow, thank you!
My server is running Suse, so I removed the psa-watchdog through yast, and then I used:
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller
to select the psa-watchdog again, reinstalled it, and now it works fine!
Again, thank you very much.
 
Hello All !

Same problem here, on a fresh install of Plesk 10.0.1 on Centos 5, upgraded to Plesk 10.1.1 and with nothing else running on it (yet).

Your solution also solved my problem:
. uninstall psa-watchdog with yum:
yum remove psa-watchdog

. reinstall with:
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller

Thanks again,
Paul-Henri
 
The DB record for Kavehost is missing in Watchdog

INSERT INTO `psa`.`module_watchdog_service` (
`id` ,
`name` ,
`label` ,
`sort_val` ,
`mon_status` ,
`save_stats` ,
`timeout` ,
`timeout_restart_num` ,
`timeout_cycles_num` ,
`connection_timeout` ,
`start_cmd` ,
`stop_cmd` ,
`start_time`
)
VALUES (
NULL , 'kavehost', 'KA Anti Virus', '10', 'monitored', 'on', 'on', '5', '5', '5', '/etc/init.d/kavehost start', '/etc/init.d/kavehost stop', '60'
);

And watch dog will work again... i had this same problem too.
