[Xymon] no vmstat data for 8 hours on weekdays?

[Mike Burger]

Ok...I've modified the following options in the xymonserver.cfg file:

 

MAXMSG_CLIENT changed from 512 to 1024

MAXMSG_STATUS changed from 256 to 512

MAXMSG_DATA changed from 256 to 512

 

I'll be watching to see how things look as we get to/past the 9AM hour.

I think I've found it in the server's xymond.log:

 

Oversize status msg from <client IP> for <hostname>:procs truncated
(n=<some #>, limit=262144)

Oversize data/client msg from <client IP <truncated (n=<some #>,
limit=524288).

 

Now, I need to figure out how to change those limits.

Good to know...I was trying (unsuccessfully) to compile the 4.3.10
client for AIX, in case it was the client side.

 

On the other side...I did stop the client, killed any remaining vmstat
processes and started the client back up. Initially, only one vmstat
process was running, and then eventually there were two at any given
time, again. They kick off every 5 minutes, outputting to a vmstat file
tied to that process' PID (hobbit_vmstat.<hostname>.PID), and at the end
of the run, the PID specific vmstat file is supposed to be renamed to
hobbit_vmstat.<hostname>. The one thing I notice is that I never see a
file hobbit_vmstat.<hostname>...even now, while there is still data
actually being reported in the graph (it's only 7:44AM at present),
there is no vmstat file without the PID as part of the file name
present. Not that I think that is the problem.

 

Is there anything I can do to increase verbosity in the client and/or
server logging to determine if there's some sort of communication issue
(or lack thereof)?

	Silly question time...is that code in the server or client?

 

There are no silly questions: all questions lead to enlightenment!

 

The parser runs on the server.
