Unable to start pctl service

Posted on

Our monitoring have started complaining on that the pctl service is not started.
systemctl status pctl
ERROR: perfd not found at /opt/perf/bin/perfd[FAILED]

We have an almost identical server that does not have this issue.
It is the same dnf-updates on both servers.

I can't figure out how to re-install perfd.
Anyone got any clue on what is wrong here
