When using atop as a systemd service it only runs and logs to file once

  • 772

I am on CentOS 7 and using atop v2.6.0

If I run atop manually with the following command everything runs as expected and the log is written to every 10 seconds:

/usr/bin/atop -w /var/log/atop/atop_20210320 10

However when running atop as a service with systemd the log is only written to once when the service starts and never updated.

I can confirm via ps -ef that the service has initiated the command and it's running:

root 2320 1 0 13:34 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/atop -w /var/log/atop/atop_20210320 10

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

  1. Make sure atop-rotate.timer is enabled and you'll have daily logs:

    # systemctl enable --now atop-rotate.timer
# systemctl status atop-rotate.timer
