MTA / STATS stop & start frequently

Post by alarentis »

frequently during the day, the MTA services & STATS stop and restart a few seconds later.

Here's an example of the email messages that I receive.
-- STOP message

Feb 20 09:28:02 zimbra zmconfigd[638]: Service status change: zimbra.geatrentinaservizi.com mta changed from running to stopped

Feb 20 09:28:02 zimbra zmconfigd[638]: Service status change: zimbra.geatrentinaservizi.com stats changed from running to stopped

--START message

Feb 20 09:29:03 zimbra zmconfigd[638]: Service status change: zimbra.geatrentinaservizi.com stats changed from stopped to running

Feb 20 09:29:03 zimbra zmconfigd[638]: Service status change: zimbra.geatrentinaservizi.com mta changed from stopped to running
Can you help me understand what's going on?
thanks

I ran OSS version 8.0.4 for year and now suddenly stats service keeps stopping and starting many times a day. Permission in zmstat folder is zimbra.zimbra. zmstatctl status show everything is running well.

I am thinking about upgrade my system to 8.0.7.

Hi all,
After long time monitoring the server, I discovered that services restarting issue is caused by hardware performance and maybe VMWARE ESXi. I replaced the hard disk and everything is OK now.
Hope this help someone.

Same problem. Sometimes with logger, sometimes with snmp service. I run CentOS 6.6 inside a Virtual Machine (libvirt). Any official response on this issue?
