Thanks for this, it's still not completely fixed (I cleared out all the rrdtcl files from tmp and it looked ok for a few hours then bad again and new rrdtcl files were present, which may be normal but the errors aren't) but it pointed me towards fixing some other issues that I had been plagued with since the end of last year, gaps in graphs and hobbitd_rrd crashes! I am very grateful for that.

Steve,

This is often the result of stale rrdctl sockets lying around. showgraph.cgi attempts to tell xymond_rrd to flush cached updates for certain hosts to disk so it can read it back out. If there are stale socket files, it'll end up communicating with pids that don't exist.

Check your xymon logs/tmp/run directories and clear them out.

Dear all,

I have this error appearing repeatedly in my cgierror.log file:

2013-05-13 15:16:59 hobbitgraph Sendto failed: Connection refused 2013-05-13 15:16:59 hobbitgraph Sendto failed: Connection refused 2013-05-13 15:16:59 hobbitgraph Sendto failed: Connection refused 2013-05-13 15:16:59 hobbitgraph Sendto failed: Connection refused 2013-05-13 15:16:59 hobbitgraph Sendto failed: Connection refused 2013-05-13 15:16:59 hobbitgraph Sendto failed: Connection refused

And I have millions of lines with this. Fairly new to Xymon, probably permission issue - anyone able to help? I have tried to search the web (ans this mailing list + archives) and read the man pages where possible.

thanks

SD
