php script server timeout

[toe_cutter]

Hi all,

Im creating this new thread since the old one i was using(/hijacking) seems to have some other problem than mine, similar maybe.

Im getting Script Server timeouts :/ Im running TheWitness' edited debug-script_server.php (its in SVN), but not getting any output. Running mysql -e "show processlist" prints out some sleeping NULL processes, but i cant say im too worried about them (TheWitness' shell-script for listing slow queries didnt print out anything (just blinking commands occasionally)).

Using this:

Code: Select all

*Cacti+spine 0.8.7e(both patched), PA 2.5(the working one), weathermap 0.96a, realtime 0.4, aggregate 0.71, spikekill 1.0, boost 2.5-1(on a 3GB ramdisk).
*Apache/2.2.13 (FreeBSD) mod_ssl/2.2.13 OpenSSL/0.9.8k DAV/2 PHP/5.2.11 with Suhosin-Patch
*FreeBSD cacti.sr.se 8.0-RC2 FreeBSD 8.0-RC2 #0: Tue Oct 27 09:34:47 CET 2009     user@host:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
* rrdtool --version 
RRDtool 1.3.8 
* php --version 
PHP 5.2.11 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.7 (cli) (built: Nov  2 2009 09:58:40) (patched because of broken sockets)
* mysql --version 
mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.86, for portbld-freebsd8.0 (amd64) using  5.2 

8core AMD Opteron
16GB RAM (1x3GB-ramdisk for MySQL database)
1x300GB RAID5 for all files

Oh yeah, not only getting the warning, sometimes these others too:

Code: Select all

10/08/2009 03:08:00 AM - SPINE: Poller[0] ERROR: SS[0] An invalid file descriptor was given in one of the sets.  
10/08/2009 03:08:00 AM - SPINE: Poller[0] ERROR: Spine Timed Out While Processing Hosts Internal  
10/08/2009 03:07:30 AM - SPINE: Poller[0] WARNING: SS[0] The PHP Script Server did not respond in time and will therefore be restarted

The Edited script_server.php was running while that was printed.

I ran cacti in DEBUG-logging (output is attached), but the only link i found was that the script we mostly use (Eric Halls Cisco CPU usage script) that was being run in the script-server returned a "U" or "0", all other results where numerical and non-false. I quickly checked his script, but with my limited PHP-skills i couldnt see anything unusual.

This looks like the script server has crashed for some reason. The right thing to do here would be to restart the script server.

Yeah, cacti restarts it, but i cant find a reason for this. I used your php.c from the sasifras-thread (linked in first post) to find the script that did this, but as you know from there it didnt print anything.

I have to update some ports on the machine next week, but everything is pretty new on it, freebsd8 and all.

Anyway... im keeping track on sasifras' thread too, i think that whatever fixes his cacti would help/fix mine.

Either that or go debian, and be lynched by all the *bsd-mongers at work

I'm doing a pretty rigid QA of a new spine version this weekend to support multiple host threads. So, maybe I figure something out. My peer review pool is pretty light (not too many colleagues). I'll run some test cases though, just to test things.

Alright, thanks
If you want, i can try the new spine out on the machine at work next week: 8cores, a ridiculous amount of ram and other fun

Send me a PM if so

[Jason.S]

I see this problem a lot on my server as well. I look forward to this new spine version.

[TheWitness]

Jason,

Can you PM me log excerpts that contain this. I would need all the details around the errors.

I am working on this today.

Toe_cutter,

To you too. I'll be looking you up shortly.
