Okta Classic Engine
Access Gateway
Okta Identity Engine
Overview
OAG logs will have the following log message periodically
2024-06-06T17:00:12.843-07:00 server_hostname systemd Reached target Shutdown.
Applies To
- Okta Access Gateway (OAG)
- Systemd
- systemd-tmpfiles-clean
- dnf-makecache
Cause
Following are the two services Systemd restarts based on a timer that results in generation of the mentioned log message:
- systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service
- If this option is passed, all files and directories with an age parameter configured will be cleaned up
- dnf-makecache.service
- Like plain makecache, but instructs DNF to be more resource-aware, meaning it will not do anything if running on battery power and will terminate immediately if it's too soon after the last successful makecache run (see dnf.conf(5), metadata_timer_sync)
