Hi J.C.,
So it appears that only fixed it temporarily.
If I stop the service and start it back up again, it crashes again.
I think I figured out how to read the core file and get a backtrace for you (I think).
Here's what I got from the most recent crash (with some host names obfuscated):

Is this what you wanted? Do you want me to install the debug package for glibc or other packages?
Let me know what I can do.
Thanks!!
This works. It's strange in that it points to a problem with the client-local configs, but I'm not sure how the tree would get into a corrupt state.
Were any changes made recently to the client-local file? Any other errors seen during xymond's startup that might seem related?
It's probably *not* an issue with a status message, if they're all crashing at the same spot. This was an incoming client message that was either garbled or accessing garbled data somehow.

Hi J.C.,
Moving the xymond.chk checkpoint file out of the way after it was stopped seemed to fix this (at least so far).
I see that I lost all record of disabled tests (getting alerts for things that were disabled).
What all data exactly did I lose with moving that checkpoint file out of the way?
Is there anyway to get the data back? Or maybe figure out the corruptness in the checkpoint file and then move the file back in place?
There are several different bits in there, including scheduled tasks, disable states, and the current status messages. You can manually copy the file back at this point while xymond is off and it will load state back from it (along with the old status messages, but they'll get overwritten as soon as the next cycle come through).
Also, see my most recent e-mail with the xymonlaunch log (if you haven't already). Looks like this has happened in the past but resolved itself....
Regarding the backtrace....
I put those lines in /etc/sysconfig/xymonlaunch and I see the core files being generated now. I feel embarrassed to admit this, but how exactly do I get the backtrace out of the binary core files, besides trying to read the files with an editor? Any way to know which core file had the backtrace?
Also, I see this in journalctl:
Ignoring invalid environment assignment 'export DAEMON_COREFILE_LIMIT=unlimited': /etc/sysconfig/xymonlaunch
Ugh. systemd :( I forgot that that's not a real shell file any more. Looks like you found a way though!
