My vm is down

Hi,
i have a Sless VM, usualy it’s down.
In the log, of the machine /var/log/message is full of these message:
syslog-ng[1348]: Log statistics; dropped=‘pipe(/dev/xconsole)=0’, dropped=‘pipe(/dev/tty10)=0’, processed=‘center(queued)=7929’, processed=‘center(received)=7869’, processed=‘destination(messages)=7854’, processed=‘destination(mailinfo)=15’, processed=‘destination(mailwarn)=0’, processed=‘destination(localmessages)=0’, processed=‘destination(newserr)=0’, processed=‘destination(mailerr)=0’, processed=‘destination(netmgm)=0’, processed=‘destination(warn)=15’, processed=‘destination(console)=15’, processed=‘destination(null)=0’, processed=‘destination(mail)=15’, processed=‘destination(xconsole)=15’, processed=‘destination(firewall)=0’, processed=‘destination(acpid)=0’, processed=‘destination(newscrit)=0’, processed=‘destination(newsnotice)=0’, processed=‘source(src)=7869’.
where can i verify to check why this crash is happend?

these messages are statistic reports from syslog, so nothing special or to worry about.

Please tell us what version of SLES you’re using, and especially what type of Hypervisor you’re using.

I guess that your statement “usually it’s down” is meant as “it crashes often”? What does the hypervisor report about the VM, especially about the termination of the running instances… is it seen as a crash there, too, or as a regular stop?

If the VM simply crashes, most of the time I won’t find proper evidence inside the VM, but on the virtualization host.

Hi filimrina,

are you in a position to open a service request with SUSE? They may be able to diagnose this quicker than us, especially lacking any details from log files or alike.

Forums are self-supported and not officially staffed by SUSE.

To open a Service Request you need to visit https://www.suse.com/mysupport/
