[hobbit] Xymon crashing

[HUBBARD, GREG ((EDS))]

How do you know that the kernel panics and the Xymon changes are related?  Is there a log file or something?  You are not running Xymon as root, are you?

Also, you might check to see if your client is already sending vmstat data -- your change may be conflicting with something that is built in, and that is why you are seeing the RRD errors.

I dont know if this will be related for the blog or not but i have to ask.


Recently i put up a custom script in xymon that would use vmstat to monitor
cpu utilization.


All i did in the script was take a report tail it and 'awk'ed out what i
wanted to read in and report it to xymon.

For a graph i added cpu_util=vmstat"     in the hobbitserver.cfg file.

Now in the /var/log/xymon/rrdstatus.log is reporting   "Too few lines (only
1 or 2) in vmstat report"

our server will have a kernal panic and shutdown every couple minutes.  Now
before this started we also updated the rrd daemon to the most recent
version

We are running xymon 4.2.2 on unix 2.6.X

Does anyone have an idea of what could be going on.   I have had the
reports going for a two weeks before this happened.  and now it just
started.

Thanks everyone
