Hi All,

I’ve been tuning a server recently and just today this has started to appear in my top/htop output.

[root@db1 ~]# ps -aux | grep kernel root 1011 0.0 0.0 212048 4532 ? Ss 13:34 0:00 /usr/bin/abrt-watch-log -F

I had made a few changes to sysctl.conf which I have now reverted and the error still exists.

my sysctl.conf contained;

vm.swappiness=0
vm.overcommit_memory=2
vm.overcommit_ratio

  • Please, do not be scared from that ugly command line. It is a perfectly valid command line where abrt-watch-log process is searching for the strange strings in
    /var/log/messages and calling
    /usr/bin/abrt-dump-oops if the tool finds a string present in the list of searched strings.

    You can get the list of searched strings by issuing the following command:
    $ abrt-dump-oops -m

    In the upstream, we have replaced abrt-watch-log abrt-dump-oops with a single tool watching systemd-journal and the searched strings are no longer passed through command line arguments.
