Hello I wanted to ask a questions, or point out an issue... whichever fits
Yesterday afternoon I noticed an odd issue with a server, which just happened to be running monit 5.19. The issue had actually been in effect for a couple of days. I use m/monit, but never had received any alerts on this issue. The issue is highlighted in this RedHat TID Message "audit: backlog limit exceeded" reported and possibly hung system due to a frozen filesystem https://access.redhat.com/solutions/473223 What I found when I ssh'd to my server was that I had a system load of 299. However monit and m/monit both showed a load of almost 0. I will attach an m/monit weekly load graph. This server is not used for anything but internal, so it didn't create any real problems for us. But it could have been something more important. At this point (as I'm still digging into the auditd issue) I can only think that somehow, due to the freeze, monit was unable to queue messages out. And because of this I had no error condition on m/monit. So I wanted to point it out, but also ask if there might be some insight on how to catch this type of issue in the future. Jim
