RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Oliver Falk 2020-02-24 08:05:35 UTC 
Description of problem:

Customer reports that since RHEL 7.7, the following is logged after a reboot:

    Feb 11 08:38:07 xx-xx-xxxx pmie[17588]: # /usr/bin/systemctl enable pmie.service
    Feb 11 08:38:08 xx-xx-xxxx systemd[1]: pmie.service: Supervising process 17800 which is not our child. We'll most likely not notice when it exits.
    Feb 11 08:38:08 xx-xx-xxxx pmlogger[17919]: # /usr/bin/systemctl enable pmlogger.service
    Feb 11 08:38:16 xx-xx-xxxx systemd[1]: pmlogger.service: Supervising process 23392 which is not our child. We'll most likely not notice when it exits.
    Feb 11 08:38:16 xx-xx-xxxx systemd[1]: pmlogger.service: Supervising process 23392 which is not our child. We'll most likely not notice when it exits.
    Feb 11 08:38:16 xx-xx-xxxx systemd[1]: pmlogger.service: Supervising process 23392 which is not our child. We'll most likely not notice when it exits.
    Feb 11 09:01:23 xx-xx-xxxx systemd[1]: pmlogger.service: Supervising process 8202 which is not our child. We'll most likely not notice when it exits.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.3.2


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. # yum install pcp
2. # systemctl enable pmie pmlogger
3. # reboot
4. Check logs

Actual results:
Log is polluted with unnecessary log messages.

Expected results:
No pollution of the logs files.


Additional info:
* This didn't happen with RHEL 7.6 and therefore can be seen as a regression in RHEL 7.7.
* Customer case will be linked.
* Related RHBZ#1780003.
Comment 3 Oliver Falk 2020-02-24 09:27:15 UTC 
I've adapted the title of this BZ, since a second issue came in that is related. Therefore I'd suggest we try to generally improve the (system) logging of PCP.

Comment 15 Jan Kurik 2020-06-12 14:58:10 UTC 
The log messages do not contain *is not our child* or *does not belong to service* statements any more.
The current messages looks legit to me when starting/stopping pcp services.
Tested with pcp-5.1.1-1.el8
