Slice failed error logged on Centos 8.3 (2011) system
Dear Hetrixtools team,
I regularly have an error logged by the cron job of the Hextrixtools server agent on different machines running Centos 8.3 (2011). I the logs, I have the following entries, typically 1-3 per day at different, random time points. All other runs of the job work fine then. User 988 is the user running the agent.
pam_systemd(crond:session): Failed to create session: Start job for unit user-988.slice failed with 'canceled'

Do you have any idea were this comes from and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
Hello,
This seems to be an issue related to CentOS/RedHat in particular, and how the OS generates slices of processes, but not related or caused by our agent code: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1564823
An issue regarding this matter is already logged and solved in their system, for the RedHat clients: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6099891
I'd suggest contacting the OS support, perhaps they'd have more insight as to what might cause this error on your system.
