Hints

Check database records

sqlite3 /home/foldermonitor/database/foldermonitor.db "select * from filedata"

If you accidentally deleted your database you can easily restore it.

cd foldermonitor/database
cat db_creation_script.sql | sqlite3 foldermonitor.db

Check log

cat /var/log/maillog

Change devtoolset(i.e to build daemon)

scl enable devtoolset-7 bash

If you don't see any logs in /var/log/maillog, restart rsyslog

systemctl restart rsyslog
