Package: monit Version: 1:5.20.0-5 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
I've noticed that the latest version of monit has overwritten its log file (/var/log/monit.log). /var/log/monit.log.1 ends on January 2 with: [...] [CET Jan 2 07:32:58] error : Queued event file: unable to read event size -- end of file [CET Jan 2 07:32:58] error : Queued event file: unable to read event size -- end of file [CET Jan 2 07:32:58] error : 'eth0' link down [CET Jan 2 07:34:58] error : Queued event file: unable to read event size -- end of file [CET Jan 2 07:34:58] error : Queued event file: unable to read event size -- end of file [CET Jan 2 07:34:58] error : 'eth0' link down [CET Jan 2 07:35:07] info : Awakened by the SIGHUP signal Reinitializing Monit - Control file '/etc/monit/monitrc' while /var/log/monit.log starts with: [CET Jan 10 10:29:40] info : Starting Monit 5.20.0 daemon [CET Jan 10 10:29:40] info : 'zira' Monit 5.20.0 started In /var/log/dpkg.log about monit: 2017-01-10 10:29:32 upgrade monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-4 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:32 status half-configured monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-4 2017-01-10 10:29:32 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-4 2017-01-10 10:29:32 status half-installed monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-4 2017-01-10 10:29:33 status triggers-pending systemd:amd64 232-8 2017-01-10 10:29:33 status half-installed monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-4 2017-01-10 10:29:33 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:33 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:39 configure monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 <none> 2017-01-10 10:29:39 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status unpacked monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status half-configured monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 2017-01-10 10:29:40 status installed monit:amd64 1:5.20.0-5 -- Package-specific info: Monit config file /etc/monit/monitrc is *NOT* readable by reportbug.
