FRR keeps restarting at random
-
We are running FRR for a while now (8 months) with little to no issues. but recently we see that FRR keeps restart at random intervals
on the Pfense logs we see the following:
Oct 24 02:17:04 watchfrr 47887 watchfrr 7.5.1 starting: vty@0 Oct 24 02:17:04 watchfrr 47887 zebra state -> up : connect succeeded Oct 24 02:17:04 watchfrr 47887 staticd state -> up : connect succeeded Oct 24 02:17:04 watchfrr 47887 bgpd state -> up : connect succeeded Oct 24 02:17:04 watchfrr 47887 all daemons up, doing startup-complete notify Oct 26 02:48:08 watchfrr 44248 watchfrr 7.5.1 starting: vty@0 Oct 26 02:48:08 watchfrr 44248 zebra state -> up : connect succeeded Oct 26 02:48:08 watchfrr 44248 staticd state -> up : connect succeeded Oct 26 02:48:08 watchfrr 44248 bgpd state -> up : connect succeeded Oct 26 02:48:08 watchfrr 44248 all daemons up, doing startup-complete notify
But nothing about why it shutdown or died at all.
When this happens we also see all our peers being reset with the following:
Last reset 00:04:06, No AFI/SAFI activated for peer
Where could I go about finding more information on why or what happened to FRR that it just died and restart by itself?
This is happening about 10 or so times per day at super random intervals, the longest session we have observed was around 8 hours in one go before it just resets again
