Auto-start on Boot

1. Overview

IoTDB supports registering ConfigNode, DataNode, and AINode as Linux system services via the three scripts daemon-confignode.sh, daemon-datanode.sh, and daemon-ainode.sh. Combined with the system-built systemctl command, it manages the IoTDB cluster in daemon mode, enabling more convenient startup, shutdown, restart, and auto-start on boot operations, and improving service stability.

Note: This feature is available starting from version 2.0.9-beta.

2. Environment Requirements

Item Specification
OS Linux (supports the systemctl command)
User Privilege root user
Environment Variable JAVA_HOME must be set before deploying ConfigNode and DataNode

3. Service Registration

Enter the IoTDB installation directory and execute the corresponding daemon script:

# Register ConfigNode service
./tools/ops/daemon-confignode.sh

# Register DataNode service
./tools/ops/daemon-datanode.sh

# Register AINode service
./tools/ops/daemon-ainode.sh

During script execution, you will be prompted with two options:

  1. Whether to start the corresponding IoTDB service immediately (iotdb-confignode / iotdb-datanode / iotdb-ainode);
  2. Whether to register the corresponding service for auto-start on boot.

After script execution, the corresponding service files will be generated in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory:

  • iotdb-confignode.service
  • iotdb-datanode.service
  • iotdb-ainode.service

4. Service Management

After service registration, you can use systemctl commands to start, stop, restart, check status, and configure auto-start on boot for each IoTDB node service. All commands below must be executed as the root user.

4.1 Manual Service Startup

# Start ConfigNode service
systemctl start iotdb-confignode
# Start DataNode service
systemctl start iotdb-datanode
# Start AINode service
systemctl start iotdb-ainode

4.2 Manual Service Shutdown

# Stop ConfigNode service
systemctl stop iotdb-confignode
# Stop DataNode service
systemctl stop iotdb-datanode
# Stop AINode service
systemctl stop iotdb-ainode

After stopping the service, check the service status. If it shows inactive (dead), the service has been shut down successfully. For other statuses, check IoTDB logs to analyze exceptions.

4.3 Check Service Status

# Check ConfigNode service status
systemctl status iotdb-confignode
# Check DataNode service status
systemctl status iotdb-datanode
# Check AINode service status
systemctl status iotdb-ainode

Status Description:

  • active (running): Service is running. If this status persists for 10 minutes, the service has started successfully.
  • failed: Service startup failed. Check IoTDB logs for troubleshooting.

4.4 Restart Service

Restarting a service is equivalent to stopping and then starting it. Commands are as follows:

# Restart ConfigNode service
systemctl restart iotdb-confignode
# Restart DataNode service
systemctl restart iotdb-datanode
# Restart AINode service
systemctl restart iotdb-ainode

4.5 Enable Auto-start on Boot

# Enable ConfigNode auto-start on boot
systemctl enable iotdb-confignode
# Enable DataNode auto-start on boot
systemctl enable iotdb-datanode
# Enable AINode auto-start on boot
systemctl enable iotdb-ainode

4.6 Disable Auto-start on Boot

# Disable ConfigNode auto-start on boot
systemctl disable iotdb-confignode
# Disable DataNode auto-start on boot
systemctl disable iotdb-datanode
# Disable AINode auto-start on boot
systemctl disable iotdb-ainode

5. Custom Service Configuration

5.1 Customization Methods

5.1.1 Method 1: Modify the Script

  1. Modify the [Unit], [Service], and [Install] sections in the daemon-xxx.sh script. For details of configuration items, refer to the next section.
  2. Execute the daemon-xxx.sh script.

5.1.2 Method 2: Modify the Service File

  1. Modify the xx.service file in /etc/systemd/system.
  2. Execute systemctl daemon-reload.

5.2 daemon-xxx.sh Configuration Items

5.2.1 [Unit] Section (Service Metadata)

Item Description
Description Service description
Documentation Link to the official IoTDB documentation
After Ensures the service starts only after the network service has started

5.2.2 [Service] Section (Service Runtime Configuration)

Item Meaning
StandardOutput, StandardError Specify storage paths for service standard output and error logs
LimitNOFILE=65536 Set the maximum number of file descriptors, default value is 65536
Type=simple Service type is a simple foreground process; systemd tracks the main service process
User=root, Group=root Run the service with root user and group permissions
ExecStart / ExecStop Specify the paths of the service startup and shutdown scripts respectively
Restart=on-failure Automatically restart the service only if it exits abnormally
SuccessExitStatus=143 Treat exit code 143 (128+15, normal termination via SIGTERM) as a successful exit
RestartSec=5 Interval between service restarts, default 5 seconds
StartLimitInterval=600s, StartLimitBurst=3 Maximum 3 restarts within 10 minutes (600 seconds) to prevent excessive resource consumption from frequent restarts
RestartPreventExitStatus=SIGKILL Do not auto-restart the service if killed by the SIGKILL signal, avoiding infinite restart of zombie processes

5.2.3 [Install] Section (Installation Configuration)

Item Meaning
WantedBy=multi-user.target Start the service automatically when the system enters multi-user mode

5.3 Sample .service File Format

[Unit]
Description=iotdb-confignode
Documentation=https://iotdb.apache.org/
After=network.target

[Service]
StandardOutput=null
StandardError=null
LimitNOFILE=65536
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root
Environment=JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME
ExecStart=$IoTDB_SBIN_HOME/start-confignode.sh
Restart=on-failure
SuccessExitStatus=143
RestartSec=5
StartLimitInterval=600s
StartLimitBurst=3
RestartPreventExitStatus=SIGKILL

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Note: The above is the standard format of the iotdb-confignode.service file. The formats of iotdb-datanode.service and iotdb-ainode.service are similar.

6. Notes

  1. Process Daemon Mechanism

    • Auto-restart: The system will auto-restart the service if it fails to start or exits abnormally during runtime (e.g., OOM).
    • No restart: Normal exits (e.g., executing kill, ./sbin/stop-xxx.sh, or systemctl stop) will not trigger auto-restart.

  2. Log Location

    • All runtime logs are stored in the logs folder under the IoTDB installation directory. Refer to this directory for troubleshooting.

  3. Cluster Status Check

    • After service startup, execute ./sbin/start-cli.sh and run the show cluster command to view the cluster status.

  4. Fault Recovery Procedure

    • If the service status is failed, after fixing the issue, you must first execute systemctl daemon-reload before running systemctl start, otherwise startup will fail.

  5. Configuration Activation

    • After modifying the daemon-xxx.sh script, execute systemctl daemon-reload to re-register the service for new configurations to take effect.

  6. Startup Mode Compatibility

    • Services started via systemctl start can be stopped using ./sbin/stop (no restart triggered).
    • Processes started via ./sbin/start cannot be monitored via systemctl.
