Hi everyone,
I have a xymon server running 4.3.21 that seems to be accumulating processes like these:
hobbit 28430 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 12:50 0:00 [xymond_hostdata] <defunct>
hobbit 28435 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 12:50 0:00 [xymond_hostdata] <defunct>
hobbit 28440 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 12:50 0:00 [xymond_hostdata] <defunct>
hobbit 28444 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 12:50 0:00 [xymond_hostdata] <defunct>
hobbit 28449 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 12:50 0:00 [xymond_hostdata] <defunct>
hobbit 28452 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 12:50 0:00 [xymond_hostdata] <defunct>
It seemed related to drop messages . . .
Hey, I think I'm seeing the same thing on Solaris with 4.3.21
I've ended up here after a customer let me know that email alerts were not working as expected. After a few hours of digging around, I decided that the alert daemon was failing to retrieve hostnames and failing miserably.
Have other people seen this behavior?
