Fresh OMV 7 installation --> rrdcached and nginx alerts

  • Hi everyone,


    Yesterday I completely reinstalled OMV because I suddenly got error messages after a restart (the same ones I'm about to post) and also did a CPU swap.

    Now I thought I was rid of the errors afterwards, but they are still there. However, I receive error messages by e-mail, but the services are running normally.

    Could it be that OMV just takes too long to start? After a restart, the SSH connection is re-established very quickly, but the WebUI takes quite a long time to start, and as soon as it is accessible, the messages start coming in.


    I receive the following error messages by e-mail:


    Code

    I checked the status of the services:


    As you can see, both services work without any problems. Therefore, I simply assume that there is a time problem.

    I have also tried to set the delay according to proftpd, rrdcached and nginx slow to start on boot since 7.4.7-1 update?, unfortunately without success.

    The system is running on a generic x86-64 hardware (Intel i3-10100 CPU & MSI B460M Pro Mainboard).

    Do you have any sugetions for for me?

    Approved the thread.
  • You can check what is going on with:

    sudo systemd-analyze blame


    For eg:


  • This is the output of the command. What can I do with it or what does it tell me?

  • what does it tell me?

    It shows that your network takes a LOOONNNGG time to come up and that might be the reason for the errors on the rest of the services
    The reason, you will have to find for yourself.

    Maybe a search on the web will give you better answers.


    For me, I would just disable those notifications on the GUI and be done with it (I did it since the Pi era):




    Nonetheless, if you still want to monitor those settings, you'll have to wait for some better idea or search for yourself.
    The first thing is to check router settings, NIC settings, cables to name a few

  • Thank you for your feedback.

    It can't really be the network. I can log in again via SSH a few seconds after the power on, but the WebUI takes a lot longer to be available.

    Only after the WebUI and therefore OMV itself is available do the error messages appear by email.

    So the network is available, but the services still won't start, but why?


    I deactivated the process monitoring in the notification settings and now “only” the error message regarding nginx appears after a restart

  • Thank you for the tip, that was exactly the right point.

    I also think I know why there is a problem with IPv6.

    Quite simply: I have deactivated IPv6 in my DHCP server. OMV is assigned a v6 address, but probably only a standard address and therefore cannot go online.


    Thank you once again.
