Ignition

I was trying to restart the running ignition service thinking it would be fine but I was unable to. checking the status yields this output. I don't know why The: not found is appearing in the output.

I am running ignition 8.0.12 while we look into upgrading.

If it's a configuration problem the only thing I've changed is adding debug info to the ignition.conf for better diagnosing.

I have attached my wrapper log, my ignition.conf and the output of journalctl -xe. Any help is much appreciated.
wrapper.log (6.7 MB)
ignition.conf.txt (8.8 KB)
journalctl.txt (128.1 KB)

The error says this line in your ignition.conf is a problem:

wrapper.java.additional.3=-Xloggc:/var/log/ignition/javagc-%WRAPPER_TIME_YYYYMMDDHHIISS%.log
3

Oops, not that one, this one:

wrapper.java.additional.7=-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps

The former one is just deprecated.

Ok I'll take that out and see how it goes

You may find that all of the last 3 additional GC-related params are no longer supported in JDK 11.

yup removed those from the conf and it started no problem. Thanks Kevin!
