stale/idle processes

Post by rstarr »

I keep getting a bunch of processes clogged up on my cacti system. They seem to not go away and keep adding up. Sometimes I get so many that it stops graphing and I have to kill them manually. Also, my webserver tends to not respond during the polling period. Any hints?

Code: Select all

_cacti    8341  0.0  3.8  7584  9964 ??  I      9:25AM    0:02.48 /usr/local/bin/php -q /var/www/cacti/cmd.php 0 18
_cacti   32182  0.0  0.1   404   288 ??  I      9:25AM    0:00.01 sh -c sh
_cacti   25752  0.0  2.9  5340  7544 ??  I      9:25AM    0:00.45 /usr/local/bin/php /var/www/cacti/script_server.php cmd

# crontab -u _cacti -l
*/5 * * * * php /var/www/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

# head -n 1 /var/www/cacti/poller.php
#!/usr/bin/php -q
Can my hardware keep up with this? P3 500, 256MB (doing 17 hosts with about 230 graphs for now on this test machine)

OpenBSD 3.6
Cacti 0.8.6c
Apache 1.3.29 (chrooted)
PHP 4.3.10
RRDtool 1.0.48
MySQL 4.0.20
ucd-SNMP: 4.2.6


-------------------------------
Cacti specific settings:

(Settings, Poller)
Poller Enabled: X (YES)
Poller Type: cmd.php
Max conn process: 1
Downed host detect: Ping and SNMP
Ping Type: UDP
Ping timeout: 400
ping retry: 3
-------------------------------


Should I compile cactid and give it a shot?

Running the poller command interactively doesn't seem to give any obvious hints. It seems like it will run fine until I leave for the day and come back and notice that it stopped graphing late at night or in the morning. It seems like it's a problem that takes a while to build up.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Russ

Why aren't these processes finishing?

Ok, I've been able to look at this project again... I've got some more information. I started logging on MySQL and I am getting this _every_ second in my logfile:

Code: Select all

050228 12:53:35    4868 Query       select poller_id,end_time from poller_time where poller_id = 0
                   4868 Query       select
                poller_output.output,
                poller_output.time,
                poller_output.local_data_id,
                poller_item.rrd_path,
                poller_item.rrd_name,
                poller_item.rrd_num
                from poller_output,poller_item
                where (poller_output.local_data_id=poller_item.local_data_id and poller_output.rrd_name=poller_item.rrd_name)
My process list looks something like this:

At the same time, my cacti.log looks like this. I have tried raising the poller timeout, but did doesn't help.

Code: Select all

02/28/2005 12:54:59 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] Maximum runtime of 296 seconds exceeded. Exiting.

What is going on? Do I need to tune my MySQL database for this? I am also using MySQL on the same box for ACID/snort. Any pointers would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Russ

It appears that there may be an issue with your poller either crashing and leaving the script server running or some other permissions problem. Please check the following and keep to no more than 4:

Number of Concurrent Processes

Then, set logging to DEBUG for 1 pass of the poller and post the output from the Cacti log file. Then we will see what's going on.

Here's some more info. I never saw this stuff in the actual log file.

1) Are you running the poller with a user who has root permissions?
2) Are you attempting to run ICMP ping?

If the answer to 1) is NO and the answer to 2) is YES you have an issue in that *nix does not support ICMP pings as NON-ROOT users. This might explain everything else.

1) No, the poller is running as _cacti
2) No, I'm using UDP ping

It could also be a socket creation error with UDP ping. It may just be an OS issue with some version of the sockets implementation.
