tool to determine server stability issues
Hello, I am not sure if it was upgrade to perl 5.8.9 which started my problem, but anyway I am spotting a strange server behaviour. It will usually last about 5 minutes during which the system becomes unresponsive. Top tells me there are two perl processes run by user www both of which use 100% of a CPU%. The server has four CPUs so that's ok. What is strange, though is that during such a storm the outgoing bandwidth is all taken up and this is the reason server becomes unresponsive. Normally, it does happen that the bandwidth is taken almost completely by remote backup job but I have priority queueing with pf and it has never been a problem. A site will be served fast even though the bandwidth is taken up, because httpd traffic has higher priority. Also, in this particular case, backup job is not involved (especially that the perl processes are run by user www) so it must be something else. I have looked through apache's logs but I cannot seem to find anything strange (normal traffic without any type of DoS activity, etc.). I have turned on debugging in HotSanic which I use for traffic/system measurement but it would not generate outgoing traffic. I guess I am looking for advice how to debug this. I often spot the problem when it is about to end so I do not have enough time to start some a more detailed monitoring (also I am not sure which tool would be best to use). I'd appreciate any advice on how to troubleshoot and find out the source of the problem. Today, I have managed to run netstat during the outage (the ssh session was on so I was able to continue, otherwise I wouldn't get to the server). I can provide its output if it is of any use. I have never had anything like this before so I am in the dark here. I use FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p9 #3.

I'm investigating using dynamic configuration (cn=config or slapd.d system- whichever term you like) for an ldap service, but as far as I could see there is no way to change the setting on the fly through the ldap itself: is this correct? Is it dynamic in that you can adjust the config manually correcting the ldif files in the slapd.d directory knowing that the ldap server will pick up the changes immediately? Or is there a way that an ldap client (ldapmodify, luma, diradm, whatever) can access the config and change it that way? Thanks in advance for humouring my dementia... :) Ok, so it did turn out to be a stupid question: the config is in a separate database, what is the real stopper to changing the config through ldap tools is the suffix. This limits the access to only the database not the config. So the answer to this is that the config MUST be changed via the ldif files in the directory (on the fly, that is). An interesting observation though: ldap can use SASL (gssapi = kerberos) to auth user access, and kerberos can use ldap as a backend... chicken and egg- slapd needs to auth with kerberos on startup as a service and kerberos could need to access ldap to reach the keys :) (if setup to use the ldap to store them of course) So what happens in a case like that? Does ldap startup enough to allow kerberos to access the backend? Or does slapd keep retrying to auth until it can? Or do we end up in an endless loop? :) I could probably keep coming up with more (my research into both these has turned up some interesting information)... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I think that in general the conclusion is always that since the questions list provides a primary point of support for FreeBSD users, and that many have reasons that they cannot subscribe or that it would be a problem for them to subscribe, that the annoyance from these trash messages is less than the benefit of leaving the list open. It is not hard to hit 'd' for delete or click on that box if you use a gui email reader. I suspect that the choice won't change now either. jerry I can't send emails to the address which I used to sign up to the list, and from which I am receiving emails from the list. The mailing list server simply rejects these emails. I don't know if this is a configuration problem, but I am glad that as long as such problems occur I can post messages using a different address. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The ``yes'' command is designed to automate interactive scripts that expect a repetitive string typed manually (e.g. something like fsck but without the ``-y'' option).

It's a very simple pf.rules with no block rules. Main purpose to map vpn
user to dedicated public IP.
It was working great the last few months but lately it has been giving a
terrible performance after a few hours of running the servers. SSH is not
accessible, traffic and routing is very slow.
Is the anything wrong with above configuration or 6.4 kernel with regards to
PF and OpenVPN?
The servers are not having any custom setting sysctl.conf or loader.conf or
rc.conf except the enabling openvpn, firewall and sshd.
Restarting sshd will provide remote access again or rebooting the server. Is
there any known memory leaked for pf in this configuration? Is there a
better and efficient way of doing this in PF or is it better to use ipfw?
When this happen (no ssh), all ping to the alias IPs resulted in timeout.
Only the main IP will respond.
Server RAM is 1GB and during this issue, top shows

But, incredibly useful if you actually write shell scripts - many
programs want a 'y' for input from the stdin, and this will do that
for you.
Here's an example. When upgrading FreeBSD, especially over a large delta
in version numbers, you will frequently need to delete old files etc. that
are no longer part of the base system. You are provided with a mechanism
to do that, viz:
# cd /usr/src
# make check-old
{prints out all old files, directories and libraries to be deleted}
# make delete-old
{prompts you to delete anything apart from shlibs which it won't touch}
However 'make delete-old' will ask you whether you want to delete each
and every individual file, which is tedious. If you decide from your
inspection of the 'make check-old' output that you don't want any of the
old files, you can just run:
# yes | make delete-old
Job done.
Cheers,
Matthew
