Redis Podman Container Restarting Itself

Installed Redis via easy apache containers.  It is up and running on an account.  Runs great for a while then stops.  Seems to relaunch when I shell back into the account.  Redis log shows no errors.  Just that it's getting SIGTERM and shutsdown/restarts.  The container shows up in the lfd.log for excessive resource usage, but Kill is set to 0.  So I'm assuming lfd is not killing the process.  /var/log/messages also shows starting and stoping of the container, but no other errors related.  Any ideas where to look?

I did see a note in the logs about setting the vm.overcommit_memory = 1 in sysctl.

  Hey there! Do you see anything in /var/log/chkservd.log that would indicate cPanel is restarting the service?  If so, you may need to add a new monitor for that tool as outlined here:

  https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/cpanel-product/tailwatch/#add-a-new-monitor

  which would look like this:

  #cat /etc/chkserv.d/redis 
  service[redis]=6379,ping,\+PONG,/scripts/restartsrv_redis,redis,redis

  There is nothing in /var/log/chkservd.log for redis or podman in the host OS.

  There is no chkservd.log file at all in the container.

  If I add a monitor, would I need to add it for redis, or the container since redis is running inside the container?

  You would only need to add a monitor if you wanted chkservd to watch the service.

  It might be best to submit a ticket so we can check this one out since I would expect there to be logs somewhere if the service is failing.
