[openstack-dev] [ceilometer] zombie process after ceilometer-api

Hi, I see a zombie process left out by ceilometer-api after a client command like "ceilometer meter-list". This seems to occur only when I change the number of workers for [api] section in ceilometer.conf to 2 or more. With default value of workers = 1, there is no zombie. Has anybody

can you clarify what you mean by 'zombie process'? i'm not aware of a bug relating to this so could you open one. just for reference, this is the suggested method for deploying the ceilometer-api: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ceilometer/install/mod_wsgi.html cheers, On 12/11/2015

if you have configured two workers and you have two ceilometer-api processes and an extra 'zombie' process, then it's correct. someone else might be able to articulate this better but when you use workers, it creates child processes that represent the workers you set, and there is a parent
