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 jcalhoun 2020-06-10 19:23:50 UTC 
Description of problem:

The service unit files provided by watchdog packages in RHEL 8 contain invalid syntax in the Service section:

systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/watchdog-ping.service:9: Unknown lvalue 'ControlGroup' in section 'Service'
systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/watchdog.service:9: Unknown lvalue 'ControlGroup' in section 'Service'

        # cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/watchdog.service 
        [Unit]
        Description=watchdog daemon
        # man systemd.special
        # auto added After=basic.target

        [Service]
        Type=forking
        ExecStart=/usr/sbin/watchdog
        ControlGroup=cpu:/

        [Install]
        WantedBy=multi-user.target

        # cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/watchdog-ping.service 
        [Unit]
        Description=watchdog daemon for use with ping test / network dependency
        After=network.target
        Conflicts=watchdog.service

        [Service]
        Type=forking
        ExecStart=/usr/sbin/watchdog
        ControlGroup=cpu:/

        [Install]
        WantedBy=multi-user.target


This appears to have been addressed in previous versions of watchdog:

1259816 – Deprecated stanza in unit file
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1259816


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

watchdog-5.15-1.el8

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install watchdog-5.15-1.el8
2. systemctl start watchdog
3. systemctl status watchdog to see syntax messages

Actual results:

systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/watchdog-ping.service:9: Unknown lvalue 'ControlGroup' in section 'Service'
systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/watchdog.service:9: Unknown lvalue 'ControlGroup' in section 'Service'

Expected results:

Service unit files contain valid syntax.
