How to restart rabbitmq-server after a crash, with systemd?

[Salvatore Iovene]

Hi,

I run rabbitmq-server on Ubuntu 16.04, and I have experienced a rare, occasional crash. When that happens, many functionalities on my website become unavailable, so this is of course undesirable.

Can anyone advice on how to automatically restart the service after a crash, with systemd (I suppose)?

Thanks!

Salvatore

It's hard to recommend much without server logs and further details.

When packages are used, the only right way of managing a node is via OS-specific

process management tools (as opposed to `rabbitmqctl stop`, for example).

In other words, `service rabbitmq-server start` is what you want, which should use systemctl under the hood

on your distribution.

systemd can do this for you if you modify your service file:

https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/blob/stable/docs/rabbitmq-server.service.example#L14

I'd highly recommend monitoring your system and inspecting logs to find out what happens to the node

as opposed just restarting it:
