  • 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


    [root@lcftp-ftp02 ~]# systemctl status pctl
