Hi,

While troubleshooting an other network issue, I enabled the netstats.py module to report "udp_rcvbufrerrors".

Ironically, it seems to me as if gmond itself is experiencing udp receive buffer errors.

When I check out /proc/net/udp for drops, amongst other things I see:

sl local_address rem_address st tx_queue rx_queue tr tm->when retrnsmt uid timeout inode ref pointer drops 51: 00000000:21DD 00000000:0000 07 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000 103 0 72590718 2 ffff8803a1a5d140 6676

It shows a 6676 dropcount for a socket with uid: 103

When I check out which process has this uid, it is gmond:

# ps -ef n | grep '103 '
     103  7800     1  0 10:32 ?        Ssl    0:04 /usr/sbin/gmond

I have tried tweaking some sysctl settings, increasing rmem for udp and increasing the max_udp_message_len in gmond.conf but there seems to be no effect.

Is this possibly a bug, or am I missing something and doing it wrong? ;)


Cheers,
- Ramon.
