All, I just know that no-one else is doing this, but....
I updated the windows gmond with a current cygwin install and fixed the processor count metric. That is all I did. Simple recompile, slightly newer cygwin1.dll However when I used this agent, when gmetad did the tcp poll, instead of the 100k of data for my farm coming back, only 8k of data was returned - about 100 lines, about 8200 bytes The precise amount returned varied "a little bit". And yes, 8200 is quite close to 8192. When I snooped the traffic I found that the windows gmond was shutting the connection by sending a FIN-ACK. Not a FIN as one would expect on normal termination. Has anyone had any experience with gmond not returning all the XML stream, and just closing the link? Turning debugging on does not reveal any problems or error messages. I must also say that the original 3.0.0 gmond.exe binary does not seem to have this property. It is almost as if there is a new cygwin bug lurking. Any ideas anyone - I have a feeling I am alone on this one... kind regards, richard grevis ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For more information about Barclays Capital, please visit our web site at http://www.barcap.com.
