Solaris:ERROR:Spine Timed Out While Processing Hosts Interna

Post by hosenbund »

Hi Guys,

I've been browsing the forum for a couple of hours now including using our friend google ;) unfortunately I can't find any solution to my problem... Maybe TheWitness will need to have a look at this particular issue as it is not occuring on a standard linux system but Solaris 10 (05/09):

Please also note that I had trouble compiling spine on Solaris, however after using SunStudio instead of gcc/cc it was able to compile it (by adding the -lnsl to the LIBS= line).

When starting spine I was only missing of some libraries, so copied them across to the right directory - please don't hurt me for doing this, but it seemed to be the only way to get it up and running ;)

I hope the above does actually not cause the problem I'm encountering...

According to older forum posts this is a issue with either double polling, or a bug within spine (which has been fixed apparently). I've checked both and disabled crontabs for the poller PHP for users root and cacti.

Unfortunately the problem still persists for me.

Any help in this case is greatly appreciated, if any more info is needed please just ask and I'll try to provide as soon as possible.

Thanks for looking and having a thought :)

I had a hard time dealing with solaris, too.
If you ever get it running stable, I would be interessted in a howto...

Lets get back to your problem:

08/29/2009 10:37:01 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] WARNING: Host[1] DataQuery[1] Reindex Check FAILED: No SNMP Session. If not an SNMP host, don't use Uptime Goes Backwards!

It looks like your spine is not able to generate a SNMP-Session. Did you compile Net-SNMP with SunStudio, too? Or did you use a package from sunfreeware or something like that?

If you use a precompiled software package, It could be and probadly will be binary incompatible to the spine-source + sun precompiled libs on your system.

Chec if you configured your locahosts snmp agent correctly.... it should shout if there is a config failure.

Getting a proper Net-SNMP compiled on sun, (with the apis), is not that easy...

Thanks for your reply!

I am indeed using a pre-compiled Net-SNMP package from blastwave.

However I've disabled the polling of the localhost in the web-gui, I think this error:


08/29/2009 10:42:00 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] ERROR: Spine Timed Out While Processing Hosts Internal

is of more concern? I guess having a not working SNMP daemon on the localhost shouldn't stop spine from processing all remaining (working) hosts in its configuration? Or is a snmp-enabled-localhost a requirement for spine to work?

I am currently following Fabio's tutorial (http://forums.cacti.net/post-171982.html).

That means you exceeded the maximum time out value for polling, which is of 300sec (5min - usually the cron polling interval).

Unfortunately Spine seems to have problems with the implementation of nifty-popen under Solaris. When a script hangs, it is not able to kill it properly, but rather it stays there without going ahead with the other hosts and causing these timeout errors.

I think we have to pick this up with the developers, in the meantime a workaround could be to set proper timeouts within your scripts, either with some while loops or making use of timeout functions inside programs such as SSH and wget (most of my scripts use ssh and then wget to collect web server statistics, I had to add in fact -oConnectTimeout=3 to the SSH command and "-T 3 -t 1" to wget.

Run spine manually in read only (-R) and with the maximum debug option (-V5), when you see that it takes LONG open up another shell on the cacti server and with a ps -ef try to see at which command it is hanging. It seems that even with maximum verbosity enabled Spine doesn't show the current command, hence you have to do this to see exactly at which point is getting stuck.


P.S.: why do you use MySQL from Blastwave? Get the one from Sun's Webstack, it is perfectly tuned to the Solaris platform and linked to the libmtmalloc.so library which gives serious performance improvements: http://www.sun.com/software/webstack/get.jsp - not sure if the one from blastwave is also optimized but I would go straight with Sun's

Fabio,

I think you are right - again :)

I went through my devices and deleted all down devices (only 2 out of 121), ran spine manually from the shell - guess what, it finishes without any issues!

Code: Select all

So spine must - as you have already mentioned - hang while it is processing the down hosts without killing its process/run in a earlier timeout.

I am currently trying to find a workaround (unfortunately the method mentioned by you doesnt work for me, I cant see any hanging process rather than spine itself). Having this kind of bug would stop cacti from being populated with new data by spine as soon as you have a unreachable host in your network...

I will contact TheWitness to make him aware of this issue, he might have a workaround for this kind of bug - or even better: be able to provide a bugfix for spine itself in the next release.

Please let me know the availability check type for those hosts? Then, for one host, run the following:

Code: Select all

./spine -V 5 -R -f <host_id> -l <host_id>
Replace <host_id> with the host in question. Also, make sure you apply the patches for 0.8.7e spine. Also, review the README file for Solaris configure options.

Beyond that, if it's hanging at the availability check, it has nothing to do with scripts. If it's hanging at the nifty-popen, we should at least be getting a "Timeout" warning in the log. I'll want to see that. Otherwise a socket select is not working in Solaris, which is a big deal.

Please keep me posted.

This warning message typically means that the user has specified a Reindex method of "Uptime Goes Backward", but the SNMP information for the host is insufficient to actually perform an uptime check because it is not configured to use SNMP.

I would like the user to clarify that point as creating a session is one of the first things that is done, if it still exhibits this behavior, and the SNMP information is correct, I would agree with you. I suspect its simply as misconfigured host, in which case net-snmp should timeout on the snmpget's, if there are any.

On a side note, I don't like Solaris for many reasons. These days, Linux is so powerful, and many of the "excellent" gnu tools are not included by default. There is nothing worse to having someones default shell not be bash. ksh is an acceptable alternative, but I would rather have bash. And where's vim? Holy crap, vi is so old...

If this is 0.8.7g, there is a thread mutex problem that did not surface until after release. I am working on a fix, but am on the road today and won't be able to get to it until either later today or tomorrow.
