[SOLVED] Services API is showing dead processes, which is cleanly installed with the proxmox iso

[devzero]

Hi,

I have setup some new proxmox hosts with the latest iso and updated it, however as I am calling the services API with:
https://$APINODE:8006/api2/json/nodes/$TARGETNODE/services | jq

I am seeing the following results:

```
{
"unit-state": "not-found",
"service": "syslog",
"state": "dead",
"desc": "syslog.service",
"name": "syslog",
"active-state": "inactive"
},
```

and

```
{
"unit-state": "not-found",
"desc": "systemd-timesyncd.service",
"state": "dead",
"service": "systemd-timesyncd",
"active-state": "inactive",
"name": "systemd-timesyncd"
}
```

So I am getting an alarm in the Monitoring Service.
I have read that the systemd-timesyncd is replaced with chrony and I supposed syslog is replaced with journald.

So I am asking why are these 2 still there and how can I remove it from the API?

thanks Martin

Why not? There may be still systems out there using it. And no, there is no way to remove them from the API.

It looks odd, seeing services not working via a vendor-api on a fresh installed host from the iso provided from the same vendor.
However I could explain that is because of legacy reasons, it worked out and they are excluded.

thanks Martin
