We are going to set ours to every one hour also. We will let everyone know how it goes.

Thanks, michael

We have had the same issue. At this time we stop and restart it every 30 minutes. We use to do every 15 minutes, but the rc1 seems to be doing better. I will slowly adjust to higher in between times over the next few weeks and let everyone know what I find.

I also find that after you stop Devmon, sleep for 15 secs and then do a pkill to finish off any remaining processes.

All,

We added a cronjob to restart devmon every night, but that worked for a while and now we had to change it to every 4 hours and its still reporting purple every once in a while. We cant find anything in the devmon logs. Is there a specific hobbit log we can look in ?

It looks like devmon process continues to run and do snmp-gets on all our network equipment, it just fails to report to hobbit. The communication from devmon to hobbit is what is breaking every once a while for no reason.

Anyone have any ideas? We have been running great for 8 months now and it just started doing this.

Thanks, michael

From reading everyone else¹s post, looks like we are going to have to run a cronjob that restarts devmon every night. If you have any other ideas, that would be great.

Thanks, michael

All,

We have hobbit and devmon deployed and running for the last 8 months with no problems, then all of a sudden devmon stops reporting to hobbit. It casuses hobbit to turn purple. The devmon process seems to be still running, it just stops reporting to hobbit. If we stop and start the devmon process, its ok for 4 or 5 days and dies again.

Any one else having this issue? No changes were made to the server, it just came out of the blue.

Thanks, michael

Buchan,

We are running a single host with both hobbit and devmon running on them, no bbproxy.

Hobbit = 4.2.0 Devmon = 0.3.0-beta2

Thanks, michael

This is not of great benefit, more useful would be noting how your devmon/hobbit setup is configured ...

As I answered on the devmon list, I had two identical (software-wise) servers running devmon, one showed this behaviour, one did not. The one showing this behaviour reports via a bbproxy on the same server to the hobbitd on the other server.

At this stage (I haven't had any time to investigate further) I'm suspecting that a feature Eric added between 0.2.2 and 0.3.0beta2, which avoids alerting on devmon tests on servers that are down (checked via the status of the 'conn' test) may not play as well with bbproxy.

One other user with this problem reported that their devmon also talks to a bbproxy.

More information from other people seeing the issue may help narrow it without looking at the code (which I hope to have a chance for today or tomorrow).

Regards, Buchan
