Notes

  • The inSyncMonitorMasterSvc service acts like a "watchdog" for master server installed on Linux (Ubuntu and RHEL). It ensures that inSyncCloudSrv and inSyncCPortal services are always running. The inSyncMonitorMasterSvc checks the status of inSyncCloudSrv and inSyncCPortal every minute. If either one of these services is not running, inSyncMonitorMasterSvc starts the service and writes an entry to syslog (Ubuntu) or the messages (RHEL) file.

  • The inSyncMonitorStorageSvc service acts like a "watchdog" for storage nodes installed on Linux (Ubuntu and RHEL). It ensures that inSyncStorageSrv is always running. The inSyncMonitorStorageSvc runs a check on inSyncStorageSrv every minute. If this service is not running, inSyncmonitorSvc starts the service and writes an entry to syslog (Ubuntu) or the messages (RHEL) file.

  • If you stop inSyncCloudSrv or inSyncCPortal manually, inSyncMonitorMasterSvc cannot start the service. You must start the service manually.

  • If you stop the inSyncStorageSrv manually, inSyncMonitorStorageSvc cannot start the service. You must start the service manually.
