Hi, Here's a patch against ganglia-3.0.6.200802141157 that fixes a memory leak when using user defined metrics with spoofing.
The problem was that the spmetric was being copied out, ignoring the spheader. The strings that were allocated inside the spheader were dropped. mh --- ganglia-3.0.6.200802141157/gmond/gmond.c 2008-02-14 14:58:58.000000000 -0500 +++ ganglia-3.0.6.200802141157.mod/gmond/gmond.c 2008-02-20 11:46:23.000000000 -0500 @@ -831,11 +831,13 @@ Ganglia_message_save( Ganglia_host *host /* Copy in the data */ // Yemi if(message->id == spoof_metric){ - // Store data as regular gmetric in hash table!! + /* Store data as regular gmetric in hash table!! + * Free the Spoof-related strings. + */ - metric->message.id = metric_user_defined; + metric->message.id = metric_user_defined; metric->message.Ganglia_message_u.gmetric = message->Ganglia_message_u.spmetric.gmetric; - + xdr_free(xdr_Ganglia_spoof_header, &message->Ganglia_message_u.spmetric.spheader); }else{ memcpy(&(metric->message), message, sizeof(Ganglia_message)); ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
