Occasional RRD error message
Sent this to the list last Thursday but it hasn't appeared ...
Since upgrading to xymon 4.3.5, I occasionally see this message in the rrd-status.log :-
2011-11-10 00:45:53 Whoops ! Failed to send message (select(2) failed) 2011-11-10 00:45:53 -> Select failure while sending to Xymon daemon at x.x.x.x:1984 2011-11-10 00:45:53 -> Recipient 'x.x.x.x', timeout 15 2011-11-10 00:45:53 -> 1st line: 'config hosts.cfg' 2011-11-10 00:45:53 Cannot load hosts.cfg from xymond, code 6 2011-11-10 00:45:53 Failed to load from xymond, reverting to file-load
What is the problem here?

Chris, I saw your post last week. Sometimes I don't see my own posts in Gmail until someone replies.
I dunno what the problem is, I'm on an older version. I'm guessing xymond is getting busy with something else and can't respond within 15 seconds. Anything in xymond log?
Nothing in any other logs to assist.

First of all, I don't believe this is likely to cause faults. As I understand it, if the config file can't be retrieved from xymond, it will be fetched directly (from the filesystem) instead.
How often are you seeing the message?
What do you get if you run this: xymon 127.0.0.1 'config hosts.cfg'
You should get xymond's idea of the hosts.cfg file. I'm wondering if xymond is working hard at times, and the timeout is a tad too short in such cases. Perhaps check your CPU usage at the times you see failures (eg using sar).
You could try enabling "--debug" mode in tasks.cfg on the xymond_channel entry that runs xymond_rrd, and/or on the xymond_rrd worker module, and see if anything interesting comes out.
Cheers Jeremy
Not a problem just a question really.
It has happened 6 times since 8th October at different times during the day.
Xymon 127.0.0.1 'config hosts.cfg' produces expected results. System doesn't seem overly busy at the times this occurs.
Thanks.
