We are running gmond/gmetad 2.5.5 on RH9 Linux machines - I noticed
that my /var/logs/messages files are filling up (multigigabytes -
glad I have a big HD :-) with error messages like:
Dec 5 16:27:39 ptl01 /usr/sbin/gmetad[4051]: RRD_update
(/var/lib/ganglia/rrds/__Su
mmaryInfo__/load_five.rrd): illegal attempt to update using time
1070670459 when las
t update time is 1070674058 (minimum one second step)
Dec 5 16:27:39 ptl01 /usr/sbin/gmetad[4051]: Unable to write meta
data for metric l
oad_five to RRD
Every time gmetad gets an update, errors like these are generated for
27 parameters. I saw from the list archives that this might have been
a bug in earlier releases that was hoped to be fixed in the latest
release. Apparently the fix didn't make it in..
Is there a way to turn this error reporting off or ?? I can probably
live with it by manually (or by cron) mucking with the messages file
every day to keep it from getting to be multigigabytes in size, but
maybe there's a better way!
thanks for any thoughts,
leigh
