  • 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.

Remove package with

rpm -e psa-watchdog

Then run /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller and select Watchdog in Additional Plesk modules for installation.

i select (16) additionnal components
and i see (5) Wartchog

watchog started now
thanks for your help and patience !
 
Hi Igor,

I have exactly the same problem with v10.2, I'm on Debian but have done exactly as you suggest, i.e. remove and reinstall with the autoinstaller.

I still get: Error: Error occurred while reading template file /opt/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/monitrc.tpl for the monit service

[UPDATE]For some reason 2 files seem to of been renamed incorrectly to:

/opt/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/monitrc.tpl.psasaved
/opt/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/monitrc_vz.tpl.psasaved

I simply removed .psasaved from the end of the files and the module loaded...[UPDATE]

Please advise further, as far as I am concerned this issue is still unresolved.

Thanks in advance.

Bad Doggie!

A bit of and update the supposed fix I thought i found did not work! Watchdog kept senting out false errors and restarting apache approx 4 times an hour. Uninstalling watchdog resolves the problem. Sadly as far as I'm concerned Watchdog is broke on Debian 5.x for Plesk 10.2
