Bernard,
Argh! I just checked again, and NOW it is working OK, but I haven't
changed anything. (well, shut down the machines for the night,
started them cold today and the reboot seems to have cleared up
whatever misgivings the rrd/gmond/gmetad combination was having..)
I had the machines running for a number of days, then the problem
appeared in the log files suddenly for two days - don't know what
precipitated it.
I've only had one piece of software running on the machines, but
after testing more today, I can't break it.. so it's a mystery. Guess
I'll write it off to a proton flare until I can reproduce the problem!
Thanks for responding,
Leigh

Hi Leigh:
I wonder why that is happening - I am running RH9 and ganglia 2.5.5
and didn't get any of those error messages...
Cheers,
Bernard

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]: Unable to write meta

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
