Fixes #12408
Why I did it
We are running into #12408 very frequently.
This results in no syslogs from any containers as rsyslog server could not start.
some of the sonic-mgmt scripts look for log statements and error out if log is not present.
Interfaces-config
service configures the loopback interface along with other interfaces.rsyslog-config
reads ip address of loopback interface and generates/etc/rsyslog.conf
. When this race condition happens,lo
interface ip is not yet programmed andrsyslog-config
ends up writing UDP server asnull
in/etc/rsyslog.conf
.How I did it
rsyslog-config service is started after interfaces-config service.
How to verify it
Did multiple reboots and verified that
$UDPServerAddress
is valid.Which release branch to backport (provide reason below if selected)
