I have a hobbit server which has been running for a long time quite nicely. Recently, I noticed it was consuming approx 8G worth of data per month (from all the remote clients reporting their data). This was costing quite a bit of money (we pay per MB), so I modified all the client to report using a different IP (and hence provider which has much cheaper rates).
Anyway, the problem is that approximately since then, a number of client reports are not completely received. Sometimes some of the ps output is truncated, sometimes the ports sections is truncated, etc. This leads to false positive alerts (ie, procs goes red because some monitored procs are not running since they were after the truncated section).
I've increased the timeout on the hobbitd (--timeout=60) but this doesn't seem to have helped. The only common factor between the clients which have this problem are:
- Most of them are running bbproxy and passing status messages from a number of clients.
- The rest of them are on very slow connections, or frequently very busy connections.
Around the same time I actually 'fixed' bbproxy to on the remote sites, prior to this the clients were reporting directly to both hobbit servers.
I've looked for an option to stop bbproxy from 'cacheing and combining' multiple clients into a single connection, but this doesn't seem to be possible. I don't seem to get any logs/alerts from hobbit when this happens.
Can anyone suggest where I should look, what I can do to try and resolve this?
(My main problem is that I've started ignoring the late night SMS notifications, and I'm sure I will end up missing something important because of that).
Running hobbit version 4.2.0 from package 4.2.0-1 on the server.
Thanks, Adam
