Hello all,
Last friday may 22 at 8:20 we finished our upgrade from our NetApp-filers (version 7.2.3 to 7.3.1.1). These filers were (and are) monitored by Xymon in combination with the perl-netapp-client. Combined a great combo!
However, since the upgrade I keep getting this error in /var/log/hobbit/rrd-data.log: ... 2009-05-22 08:22:00 xstrdup: Cannot dup NULL string 2009-05-22 08:22:00 Worker process died with exit code 6, terminating ....
This error appears every 5 minutes.
Only one graph-type is not trended anymore since the upgrade, the xtstatscolumn which deliver all statistics about each drive in the filer. (About +/- 20 graphs). Sometimes, it does trend some data but that is for a very short time, let's say 5 or 15 minutes. Then for hours, nothing.
One filer has not been upgraded, but shows the same lack of trending. But that can be caused because I have set it up with MultiThreading (something that can be set using a parameter).
Now I will change this to 1 (for each filer a seperate process) to see if the problem can be narrowed, so I'll update this problem later on this weekend.
Regards, Peter
PS I do not know if this has to do with either Xymon of netapp.pl, but since it is integrated into the Xymon-source (hobbitd/rrd/do_netapp.c) I think it should be posted here.
