I decided to have a closer look at what is happening:
- the errors are only logged when someone retrieves a graph (in other
words, when rrdcached is told to flush everything)
- I increased the polling interval (now 3 seconds)
- compiling with debug symbols and setting a breakpoint on the error, I
discover the following:
Breakpoint 1, queue_thread_main (args=0x0) at rrd_daemon.c:703
703 RRDD_LOG (LOG_NOTICE, "queue_thread_main: "
(gdb) info locals
ci = (cache_item_t *) 0x1658ded0
file = 0x2aaab85e9b80 "/.../unspecified/__SummaryInfo__/mem_buffers.rrd"
values = (char **) 0x2aaaab33b010
status = -1
i = 2
values_num = 59739
now = {tv_sec = 1222775067, tv_usec = 193988}
next_flush = {tv_sec = 1222778538, tv_nsec = 636569000}
final_flush = 0
__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ = "queue_thread_main"
That was just 5 minutes after the process started.
Inspecting the values:
