Hi all, I'm running pmacct on a fairly low spec box (Celeron 366, 128 Mb RAM) with a MySQL database. It started off fine, but as the box started to run out of memory (due to Apache I think), pmacctd started spawning more threads to write to the database. I ended up with 73 processes/threads in total, almost all database writers.
Is this really a good idea? Wouldn't it be better to serialise database writes to some extent, to degrade gracefully rather than spiralling to death? Or is this already possible and I missed the config option? Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers, Chris. -- (aidworld) chris wilson | chief engineer (http://www.aidworld.org) _______________________________________________ pmacct-discussion mailing list http://www.pmacct.net/#mailinglists
