We recently started having problems with gmetad just dieing unexpectedly, with no explanation is the system log. The only unusual thing is a few xml parse errors several hours before gmetad dies:
Sep 3 04:50:14 ganglia01 /usr/sbin/gmetad[16437]: Process XML (Cluster 1): XML_ParseBuffer() error at line 5467: not well-formed Sep 3 07:01:11 ganglia01 /usr/sbin/gmetad[16435]: Process XML (Cluster 2): XML_ParseBuffer() error at line 388: duplicate attribute Sep 3 07:01:12 ganglia01 /usr/sbin/gmetad[16437]: Process XML (Cluster 1): XML_ParseBuffer() error at line 2383: not well-formed Sep 3 07:01:25 ganglia01 /usr/sbin/gmetad[16437]: Process XML (Cluster 1): XML_ParseBuffer() error at line 4368: not well-formed Sep 3 09:46:13 ganglia01 /usr/sbin/gmetad[16429]: Process XML (Cluster 3): XML_ParseBuffer() error at line 569: not well-formed Sep 3 09:46:13 ganglia01 /usr/sbin/gmetad[16437]: RRD_update (/var/lib/ganglia/rrds/Cluster 1/rcas2100.rcf.bnl.gov/mem_free.rrd): illegal attempt to update using time 1062596767 when last update time is 1062596767 (minimum one second step) Sep 3 09:46:13 ganglia01 /usr/sbin/gmetad[16437]: Process XML (Cluster 1): XML_ParseBuffer() error at line 1850: not well-formed Sep 3 12:14:41 ganglia01 /usr/sbin/gmetad[16430]: Process XML (Cluster 4): XML_ParseBuffer() error at line 2: junk after document element Sep 3 12:34:13 ganglia01 /usr/sbin/gmetad[16436]: Process XML (Cluster 5): XML_ParseBuffer() error at line 1298: not well-formed Sep 3 13:12:20 ganglia01 /usr/sbin/gmetad[16434]: Process XML (Cluster 6): XML_ParseBuffer() error at line 527: not well-formed Then gmetad dies almost an hour later. Any ideas what the problem could be? I have tried restarting gmetad with debugging and will wait to see if it happens again. ~Jason -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jason A.
