Woke up today to these errors:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
Job for pveproxy.service failed. See 'systemctl status pveproxy.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
Job for spiceproxy.service failed. See 'systemctl status spiceproxy.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
error: error running shared postrotate script for '/var/log/pveproxy/access.log '
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

Tried to start the services manually but they all timeout. I assume restarting the specific node in question will probably solve the problem but I am trying to avoid doing so. The VMs are still up and running but it is the pve-manager that is not working properly and I am getting 595 Connection Refused when trying to access any of them through the web manager. Proxmox version 4.4 btw. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is the output from systemctl for the pveproxy.service:

● pveproxy.service - PVE API Proxy Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/pveproxy.service; enabled)

I restarted the pve-cluster service as per fabian in forum.proxmox.com/threads/pveproxy-crashes-unable-to-start-it.35144
Seems to have resolved the issues. pveproxy.service and spiceproxy.service now start without any issues.
