I just had an unsettling experience yesterday. We have our home directories nfs mapped from a home disk server. Our version of AMD (automount) occasionally barfs for some reason on EL5, and a computer can lose it's connection to the home disk server, so the home directory becomes unavailable. When this happened, Zenoss just hung. This is understandable, what is problematic is there was no alert or anything, so I didn't know Zenoss was down for a few hours, when I tried to use the web console.
It seems to me there ought to be some sort of failsafe in a monitoring system that can tell you if the hosting computer has a problem like this - or at least something that can run without the home directory and send an alert that Zenoss is down. -- James Pulver Information Technology Area Supervisor LEPP Computer Group Cornell University _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
