[SOLVED] graphs have stopped graphing, spine segfaults

sheriffjms · Post by **sheriffjms** » Fri May 25, 2012 4:48 pm

This is on a Cacti 0.8.8 machine running RHEL6 as a VM.

[root@netinfo01 log]# uname -a
Linux netinfo01.ns.XXX.YYY 2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jan 19 14:50:54 EST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

All graphs have stopped graphing, but it looks like data is getting recorded to the RRDs, at least at first glance.
One interesting thing is that some graphs stopped between 23:00 on Wednesday and 00:00 on Thursday, while others stopped at around 05:00 on Wednesday. Both of these would have been at times when I was not actively working on the machine.

Example:

: Interface graph; graph_image_01.png (38.11 KiB) Viewed 4957 times

I've noticed the following items in the logs:

Code: Select all

05/25/2012 05:15:01 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] FATAL: Spine Encountered a Segmentation Fault (Spine thread)
05/25/2012 05:15:01 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] ERROR: The System Lacked the Resources to Create a Thread
05/25/2012 05:15:01 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] ERROR: The System Lacked the Resources to Create a Thread
05/25/2012 05:15:01 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] ERROR: The System Lacked the Resources to Create a Thread

I looked at the code for spine.c, and it looks like this error is returned if it gets an EAGAIN from mysql, so the problem could be something with mysql, but I don't know what the problem would be. I did notice earlier that the mysqld process was chewing up a fair amount of CPU and memory, so I shut mysqld down and re-started it, with no significant change in behavior - mysqld would quickly chew up CPU and RAM again. For a brief period after I restarted mysqld, I saw that some RRD files were getting updated. It doesn't look like the machine is starving for CPU or memory/vmem:

I have the poller log dumped out to a file for each poller run, and that also shows some interesting information. Something appears to be 1. causing poller.php to be very unhappy and 2. causing the poller run to try to exceed 300 seconds (the poller run normally completes in just a few seconds). poller.log shows things like this, in addition to thousands upon thousands of "Waiting on 1 of 1 pollers." messages, and the occasional "resource temporarily unavailable" messages from rrd.php, assumingly when it tries to write to an RRD file.

An strace of the running poller.php process shows it waiting for something, until it gets killed by the next 5-minute poller run.

I activated the 'domains' and 'spikekill' plugins during the day on Wednesday, but I've deactivated both of them since, to eliminate them as variables while I work on this larger problem.

poller.php is running as 'cactiuser', and cactiuser owns all of the files in the cacti directory structure (/var/www/html/stats).

So... at this point, I'm just trying to get a handle on what's happening, and what I can do to fix it / keep it from happening again.

My original assumption that the data values were still being stored, just not graphed, was wrong. I checked several graphs after the long weekend, and not that the last good data has rolled out of shortest-term view, they all show NaN for all data values.

While this seems like a permissions problem, all of the RRD files are owned by cactiuser, all of the directories where the RRDs are stored are owned by cactiuser. All of the processes that are for cactiuser (output of ps aux) are reported as cactiuser's UID, rather than as 'cactiuser', however I'm guessing that's more an issue of "cactiuser" being longer than 8 characters.

When I look at the graph debug mode for any of the affected graphs, rrdtool reports everything is OK.

Code: Select all

Doing some more digging, I found the following errors would pop up occasionally in the logs:

Code: Select all

05/29/2012 05:05:01 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[52] ERROR: Problem executing POPEN [beg39-10kva-a.ups.net.pitt.edu]: 'php /var/www/html/stats/scripts/mib-ii_ups.php outputcurrent beg39-10kva-a.ups.net.XXX.YYY SNMPCOMMUNITY 1'

05/29/2012 05:05:01 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] ERROR: SCRIPT: Cound not fork. Out of Resources nft_popen.c

So spine can't fork a process to run the PHP script above, which is what gets output current stats from some of our UPSs. The question is if it's a case of spine not being able to fork because of a system/kernel limit, or some limit that's defined in PHP.

sheriffjms · Post by **sheriffjms** » Thu May 31, 2012 9:58 am

The reason for spine complaining about not having the resources to fork another process is because it's running into a limit for the number of processes that can be opened by users, as defined in /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf:

Code: Select all

# Default limit for number of user's processes to prevent
# accidental fork bombs.
# See rhbz #432903 for reasoning.

*          soft    nproc     1024

I've turned the logging level up to debugging, and based on some information I saw there, I've changed the permissions on the spine binary to be setuid root, group cacti user, no world access. According to the last poller run, spine is still complaining about not having resources to start a thread.

I looked at the spine processes that were hanging around, and some of them were started in April, and they never got killed off. I went through and killed all of those old processes, and now my RRDs and graphs are updating again. That's good, but the question of what caused those spine processes to logjam in the first place is still open. Since killing off those old spine processes, I saw one that has been hanging around for longer than 5 minutes. An strace of that process doesn't show anything too interesting - it's just waiting for some action to happen. I'm trying to corroborate a spine process lasting <5 minutes to any relevant events in the Cacti log to try to find out why that process is still hanging around, and possibly get an strace of that process before it gets to that wait state.

strace output:

Code: Select all

[root@netinfo01 bin]# strace -p 7537
Process 7537 attached - interrupt to quit
futex(0x3cbef9ce80, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL

sheriffjms · Post by **sheriffjms** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 6:25 pm

The number of spine processes that were not closing out properly eventually exceeded the limit that was set for the number of processes that could be open by cactiuser at any one time. A short-term fix was hacking up a quick cron job to nuke any spine processes that were hanging out in space. The more permanent fix was to upgrade to cacti/spine 0.8.8a, which appears to have fixed the issue. Once I was able to get an strace of a cacti process before it hung itself (and interestingly enough, the spine process that ran 5 minutes before it...), it became more clear that it was tripping on a known bug.

For posterity, here is the strace output I saw from the spine process that hung itself:

Code: Select all
