Xymon crash after adding too many hosts?

[e-mail j.sansford]

Hi there,

We run Xymon 4.2.3, using both the proxy and the server in a multisite
configuration. We recently added 15 new hosts to our configuration, and
since doing so the server application appears to keep crashing. Running "ps
-ef | grep hobbitlaunch" shows that this process no longer exists. Looking
in the log files, it appears "rrd status" kept terminating with status 1.
Since removing these hosts from the configuration, the server has managed to
start up again.

I don't believe there is anything strange in the definition of these hosts -
so have we reached a memory limit or otherwise in the application, and if so
is there a fix for this? Such as increasing a variable somewhere?


Here's the output of bbtest if it helps:
