Hello to all,
I have weird problem. I use monit to monitor mythtv backend. It works great.
Problem is, that I have AMD X2 cpu, and monit somehow sees cpu usage wrong.
Mythbackend sometimes locks and starts using 100% cpu (top reading). For
some reason monit only shows it using 50%. I think this is due X2 cpu.
This is not problem, I have set cpu limit to 45% what works great in
most situations.
But, myth can start processes, like mythtranscode, and mencoder. I think
monit sees them as child processes.
And, when myth starts those processes, monit suddenly sees it using more
than 50% cpu. Are processes using different cpus and monit calculates
summary?
At this situation, monit thinks, that myth has reached cpu usage limit,
and restarts it. This causes problems to because after restart myth
starts those processes again, and again... until whole machine crashes.
So is there a way to monitor mythbackend process, not it's child
processes for cpu usage?
Thanks,
- Kane
