Services

Each container shipped with the Director is fully-integrated with the systemd service on the host, enabling easy management using standard systemd commands. The logs for each container are also full-integrated with journald to simplify troubleshooting.

In order to integrate the Podman containers with systemd, a common prefix of acd- has been applied to each service name. For example the router container is managed by the service acd-router, and the confd container is managed by the service acd-confd. These same prefixed names apply while fetching logs via journald. This common prefix aids in grouping the related services as well as provides simpler filtering for tab-completion.

Starting / Stopping Services

Standard systemd commands should be used to start and stop the services.

• systemctl start acd-router - Starts the router container.
• systemctl stop acd-router - Stops the router container.
• systemctl status acd-router - Displays the status of the router container.

Due to the limitation of needing the acd- prefix, it provides the ability to work with all ACD services in a group. For example:

• systemctl status 'acd-*' - Display the status of all installed ACD components.
• systemctl start 'acd-*' - Start all ACD components.

Logging

Each ACD component corresponds to a journal entry with the same unit name, with the acd- prefix. Standard journald commands can be used to view and manage the logging.

• journalctl -u acd-router - Display the logs for the router container

Access Log

Refer to Access Logging.

Troubleshooting

Some additional logging may be available in the filesystem, the paths of which can be determined by executing the ew-sysinfo command. See Diagnostics. for additional details.
