Hello,
I've been installing NOCOL for a while now, getting monitors set up and
such. The problem that I have is that if I jostle around/add new hosts to
the portmon-confg file, certain hosts appear down. After moving the new
host around in the configuration file (e.g. http ports after smtp ports,
local smtp port last, etc.), I notice that the portmon program starts to
monitor the hosts correctly.
Does anyone have an idea why? After running portmon in debug mode, I was
able to discover that the program does one of two things:
1) It mixes up data from several socket connections.
2) It drops certain socket connections, claiming that it's a "bad file
number".
Of course, debugging output can be generated upon request. I'll leave it
out now for brevity.
Also, I have quite a few problems with hostmon. The disk usage routines,
at first, only returned one value, which was whatever disk partition was
fullest. After modifying the code to accept variables like
DF_space_%used_var and DF_space_%used_usr (rather than just
DF_space_%used), I got correct answers for all of the file systems, but I
get a lot of UnInit values in my netconsole output. After reading through
the mailing list's archives, I though that version 4.2.2beta2 was supposed
to fix this problem--it hasn't. If anyone has run across this problem,
I'd really appreciate learning how to fix it.
TIA
