I'm having trouble understanding a couple of things. Here is a description of my situation:
Mrtg 2.10.15 running on Sun V440 on Solaris 8 using rrdtool 1.0.50 15 instances of mrtg are running from cron once a minute at a 15 minute interval. So there is an instance of mrtg starting every minute. Total number of targets almost 60,000 **Serious** I/O problems, which we are working on to resolve by adding hardware, but in the meantime management wants us to try to "make it work" on the 2 striped disks we have. I'm trying to figure out whether each instance is completing within its 15 minutes of allotted time. Here are my observations/questions: Two lockfiles are created, $lockfile and $templock. $templock disappears early on--haven't figure out when exactly, but by the time the SNMP metrics are being collected it seems to be gone. Is this by design? $lockfile disappears when "Remove lock files" shows up in log (with --debug=base) -- once the entire run has completed. Once $templock disappears, it seems another instance of mrtg can start up even though $lockfile is still hanging around. I've gotten no errors from cron indicating that mrtg could not start up at any time it was supposed to start though frequently $lockfile persists right up until the next run and I suspect the previous run didn't complete. How can I tell if my runs are completing in within 15 minutes? What is going on here?
