Re: [Devmon] Purple messages

[Whilding, C. <Cra...@me...>]

My server that is experiencing the problem is running RH4 EL and is
acting as a proxy and forwarding on the data to localhost and another
server.

I am now knowingly doing any log rotation.

The init.d script does restart the processes fine and devmon begins
reporting again.

Regards,
Craig

I have seen this on one production devmon instance (running 0.3.0-rc1),
but 
the other one (also running 0.3.0-rc1) doesn't see this. 

But, the one experiencing this reports to one Hobbit bbproxy that
reports to a 
hobbitd that is on the other side of a firewall. The other one is on the

server running hobbitd (thus no firewall complications).

The other possibility may be due to log rotation (or, more difficult to
track 
because of it).

I am now restarting devmon in the logrotate's postrotate script on the 
problematic devmon (since yesterday).

Well, '/etc/init.d/devmon restart' should do it ...

Well, I don't see this (on 2 instances that don't get restarted by
logrotate), 
but the report was for Solaris, and I don't currently run devmon on
Solaris 
(though I have a Solaris box I could run it on, but I'll need some
changes to 
get SNMP access to devices). People who do are free to provide more 
information that can assist in tracking the problem down.

I will try and take a look at this in the next week or so (if time
permits). 
However, the 0.3.0 release was intended to provide graphing support, and

since that is now (hopefully) more or less complete, I wanted to see
some 
testing of the Hobbit patch ...

Buchan
