tabacco-agent and tabacco-metadb services
I deployed an environment for the first time, everything went well except that there was one alert generated: "Service backup-metadata is failing or degraded on host", the metric endpoint was also failing (connection refused). I went to the server where its supposed to be running, and there was no tabacco-agent
or tabacco-metadb service
listed when I looked at the current systemctl
output, although there are files for those services in /etc/systemd/system
.
I thought perhaps that the problem was because of the tabacco-metadb.service.requires/restore-backup-metadata_db.service
perhaps wasn't satisfied, so I looked at what it does, which is simply running /usr/lib/float/float-dataset-restore backup-metadata_db
. I ran that manually, and got 'restore was successful'.
I then did systemctl start tabacco-metadb
and it started, and the alert was resolved.
