Hi. We are running Hobbit v4.2.0 on a Red Hat Ent Linux WS rel 4 server. We have been running it for about two years without any issues (Great tool!). A month and a half ago, the trends graphs stopped graphing. I restart Hobbit/Xymon and the graphs start working for a few hours, then stop. The issue is with the status channel graphs. The memory used by this process starts low as expected, then continues to grow until I restart it again. A process listing of that process shows
hobbit 24705 0.0 27.1 1099080 1095804 ? S 03:05 0:00 hobbitd_channel --channel=status --log=/home/hobbit/logs/rrd-status.log hobbitd_rrd --rrddir=/home/hobbit/data/rrd
It is using 27.1% of the memory (4GB total memory) and I just restarted Hobbit/Xymon 8 hours ago. I have upgraded the kernel on the server, and tried various debugging options. I have tried removing changes that happened around the time of the graphing stop, but nothing has shown the issue.
Looking in the rrd-status.log I do see entries with garbled data 2009-01-21 11:19:11 Bad data in channel, skipping it 2009-01-21 11:19:11 Dropping (more) garbled data 2009-01-21 11:22:35 Bad data in channel, skipping it 2009-01-21 11:22:35 Dropping (more) garbled data
I am at a loss as to what the problem is. I do plan an upgrade to Xymon v4.2.2, but wanted to see if I could fix this issue first. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.
Regards,
Bryan Kennedy
