Repeated poller messages in cacti logs

Post by somasundaram »

Hi,

recently i am observing few repeated messages in my log file with respect to the poller.
and few of my device graph is also no updating properly. i am seeing lot of blanks in between. But this is happening for only 2 devices. Rest all the devices graphs are updating properly.

any clue what could be wrong.
Here is the sample log.

I assume You have 5min pooling
The issue migh be too low memory limit for php runing pooler scrip (recomended memory is 512mb if im right)
You should find indication of this problem in webserver logs something Like Trying to allocate
Here is a page with some explanations

It looks like your poller is running 4 different times every 5 minutes.

When ever the poller completes the task with in 5 seconds one of the host having blank graphs, but in the debug i'm able to see the device responding for the poller.

i have attached the debug log for that specific device. can you or some one go through that and guide me is there anything wrong with respect to that host.

Note - rest all the other host were polled and graphed properly.

Thanks
Soma

Hi, Just for a testing i have made the no of polling process into 1, but even then multiple poller messages are appearing intermittently. At the same time in the task scheduler logs there are 3 instance with 3 different ID's were executed during the same time. so it means the one instance for default cacti and the other instance for the script server, but unable to find out the reason for the third instance. (Attached the log of task scheduler)

also there is one more strange thing observed, today i enabled debug to get the detailed log. But even after disabling the poller logging level into LOW still there are few debug messages are appearing int he cacti poller logs. I have attached the file. no clue what is happening with my box.

Thanks

You still need to check your scheduled tasks and see if there are multiple schedules set for the poller to run, if so, remove all but 1.

Hi,

i have checked there is only one schedule is running in the scheduler.

Really do not know what could be triggering the second poller action.

Also the apache service running as 2 services, if i kill one will it inturupt the polling, any idea?

sysinternals process explorer will show you if/what each apache instance is associated to a service.

The Apache process shouldn't be touched. It will spawn multiple processes as needed, and it has nothing to do with the poller, which is going to be ran directly by PHP. When it runs, you should see the PHP process for it in the task manager. See if multiple are showing up.

Yep at times i am seeing only two PHP process in the task manager, one instance for default cacti and the other instance for the script server.

But few times i am seeing multiple instance of PHP noticed in task manager and the cacti logs were also matching with multiple entries. But how to identify why only few incidents the poller is running more than one time. any other clue or suggestions pl.

yep, in process explorer it is showing as a tree. Only one instance is running as a service.

Yep at times i am seeing only two PHP process in the task manager, one instance for default cacti and the other instance for the script server.

But few times i am seeing multiple instance of PHP noticed in task manager and the cacti logs were also matching with multiple entries. But how to identify why only few incidents the poller is running more than one time. any other clue or suggestions pl.

thanks

This is the snap of task manager when PHP was running two times. At the same time the logs were also generated twice.
One this i have noticed that when the poller instance is executed single time there were 7K RRD's were updated. whereas when poller executed twice there are 9K+9K=18K RRD's were updated. Is there any reason behind this or how to identify this which all the RRD's are included during the 2 instance poller update.

Re: Repeated poller messages in cacti logs

sysinternals process explorer will show/log far more info than taskmanger; i'd highly recommend utilizing. sysinternals process monitor would also show the process tree/history for all processes for a monitoring session. that would answer the duplicate question.

for starters, are there two instances in task scheduler?

Hi BSOD,

There is only one scheduler in task scheduler. The multiple instance are seen intermittently not always. every 15 or 20 minutes once this is been appearing for to polling cycles, then after disappearing.

Also one this which i have noticed is, when the multiple instance are seen in the task manager both the ID's are having same process id. Does it means there the single task configured in the scheduler is triggering multiple instances.

I have attached my technical support info and my poller settings here. can you have a look on this pl.

Thanks.
