Having an odd problem that I'm not quite sure how to troubleshoot it.
I'm using Xymon 4.2.3 on Debian (kernel 2.4.27-2-386).
I have one client which was was installed as user 'xymon'
(configure/make/make install).
I run the client with 'runclient.sh start' and I see the services go great
on the web interface. All looks great.
After about 30 minutes however, the client seems to stop sending reports to
the server, and all services go purple.
Here's what I see when looking at the process listing on the client when
things are working correctly:
xymon (at) JBLDMZWEB01:~/client$ ps -ef | grep hobbit
xymon 25702 1 0 05:23 ? 00:00:00
/home/xymon/client/bin/hobbitlaunch
--config=/home/xymon/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg
--log=/home/xymon/client/logs/clientlaunch.log
--pidfile=/home/xymon/client/logs/clientlaunch.JBLDMZWEB01.pid
xymon 25724 1 0 05:23 ? 00:00:00 sh -c vmstat 300 2
1>/home/xymon/client/tmp/hobbit_vmstat.JBLDMZWEB01.25707 2>&1; mv
/home/xymon/client/tmp/hobbit_vmstat.JBLDMZWEB01.25707
/home/xymon/client/tmp/hobbit_vmstat.JBLDMZWEB01
And then when the client stops reporting to the server, the process listing
looks like this:
xymon (at) JBLDMZWEB01:~/client$ ps -ef | grep hobbit
xymon 25702 1 0 05:23 ? 00:00:00
/home/xymon/client/bin/hobbitlaunch
--config=/home/xymon/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg
--log=/home/xymon/client/logs/clientlaunch.log
--pidfile=/home/xymon/client/logs/clientlaunch.JBLDMZWEB01.pid
So other than the virtual memory stats missing from the process list, it
seems like it should still be sending reports.
I've checked the log files in 'logs/' and 'tmp/' but found nothing useful.
This is a pretty fresh install of the Xymon server/client, so there isn't
really much that hsould be affecting it.
Should I be running the client as root? Does it provide more logs that way?
Any thoughts?
