master/slave - systemctl restart fails

[garethahealy]

SUMMARY

So I think I've hit a bug with how the system service is configured.

1. Create a master/slave setup using shared storage
2. Stop the slave via systemctl
3. Restart the master via systemctl - works as expected
4. Start the slave via systemctl
5. Restart the master via systemctl - fails to start

Looking in the logs for master, I can see it stopping and then trying to start:

I believe it because of the ExecStartPost

• https://github.com/ansible-middleware/amq/blob/main/roles/activemq/templates/amq_broker.service.j2#L30-L34

Running those tail commands returns nothing, so systemctl fails.

• https://github.com/ansible-middleware/amq/blob/main/roles/activemq/defaults/main.yml#L77

I think this scenario is valid, being able to restart the master via systemctl so it becomes the slave.

Can you show activemq_systemd_wait_for_port and activemq_systemd_wait_for_log? The master systemd unit at point should indeed wait for "AMQ221031: backup announced" (which is in the logs)

[guidograzioli]

Also, can you try with:

activemq_systemd_wait_for_log_ha_string: 'AMQ221109\\\\|AMQ221001\\\\|AMQ221034'

[garethahealy]

amq_broker_systemd_wait_for_port == False | amq_broker_systemd_wait_for_log == True

/etc/systemd/system/amq1.service

ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/timeout 60 sh -c 'tail -n 15 -f /opt/amq/amq1/log/artemis.log | sed "/AMQ221109\\\\|AMQ221001/ q" && /bin/sleep 10'

/etc/systemd/system/amq2.service

ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/timeout 60 sh -c 'tail -n 15 -f /opt/amq/amq2/log/artemis.log | sed "/AMQ221109\\\\|AMQ221001/ q" && /bin/sleep 10'

fixes the issue:

amq_broker_systemd_wait_for_log_ha_string: 'AMQ221109\\\\|AMQ221001\\\\|AMQ221034'

Thanks, I'll update the default!
