Howdy !
The other day I passed in a metric id that contained a slash ('/') in it.
This had catastrophic consequences: metrics passed via gmetric after that
did not show up in the rrd DB
.
It seems that gmetad was trying to stash the metric in a sub-dir, e.g.
metric id = 'Fan8/CPU2'
would result in the following /var/log/messages output:
Sep 2 16:01:13 shamu-admin /usr/sbin/gmetad[4373]: RRD_create: creating
'/dev/shm/rrds/__SummaryInfo__/Fan8/CPU2.rrd': No such file or directory
Sep 2 16:01:13 shamu-admin /usr/sbin/gmetad[4373]: Unable to write meta
data for metric Fan8/CPU2 to RRD
Sep 2 16:01:21 shamu-admin /usr/sbin/gmetad[4373]: RRD_create: creating
'/dev/shm/rrds/Rack 1/lead-eth/Fan8/CPU2.rrd': No such file or directory
Is this a bug or a feature ?
Thanx,
Matthias
