    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.

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.
