I have a standard AAF Ferret installation running over DRB, serving several thousand searches daily. I use the monit script as provided in the AAF package to ensure the DRB server stays up.
I also use the totalmem line which is commented out by default if totalmem > 60.0 MB for 5 cycles then restart Twice in the last two months the DRB server has failed, but monit thinks it's fine so it has required manual intervention to solve (both times I have just restarted the server) In both occasions it directly follows the following actions in the monit log, ferret exceeds the memory limits and is restarted, seemingly successfully. 07:41:54] error : 'ferret' total mem amount of 63140kB matches resource limit [total mem amount>61440kB] 07:44:54] error : 'ferret' total mem amount of 63140kB matches resource limit [total mem amount>61440kB] 07:47:54] error : 'ferret' total mem amount of 63140kB matches resource limit [total mem amount>61440kB] 07:50:54] error : 'ferret' total mem amount of 63140kB matches resource limit [total mem amount>61440kB] 07:53:54] error : 'ferret' total mem amount of 63140kB matches resource limit [total mem amount>61440kB] 07:53:54] info : 'ferret' trying to restart 07:53:54] info : 'ferret' stop: /bin/su 07:53:57] info : 'ferret' start: /bin/su 07:53:57] error : 'ferret' failed, cannot open a connection to INET[localhost:9010] via TCP 07:53:57] error : 'ferret' failed, cannot open a connection to INET[localhost:9010] via TCP 07:56:57] info : 'ferret' resource passed 07:56:57] info : 'ferret' connection passed to INET[localhost:9010] via TCP So at this stage ferret should be up and fine but... Now any attempt to use ferret gets the error (Entry is the model) A ActsAsFerret::IndexNotDefined occurred in search#index: entry (druby:/localhost:9010) /var/www/releases/20080922044701/vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/acts_as_ferret.rb:264:in `get_index' I've tried to simulate this in the staging environment with an artificially low memory limit but everything seems to reset fine. Anyone see anything similar themselves, do anything different or have any suggestions?
