ZENTRAP keeps going down

Ever since the upgrade to Zenoss 3.2 the zentrap daemon keeps going down.  It runs for a few hours the goes down.

 

The Zentrap log always looks like this :

An increase in failed runs and running tasks.

 

Does anyone know what this means and how to resolve this issue.

 

Thanks !

    Re: ZENTRAP keeps going down

    I'm having similar issues.  On one of my Zenoss servers zentrap will begin consumer 2GB of memory overnight and still growing.  It seems to coorelate with the 12 hour remodel schedule for whatever that's worth.

    Re: ZENTRAP keeps going down

    I also have the same.  But we don't have Failed Runs (any of us, I suspect).  This log is not good for the eye but the last line of your log:

     

    2011-10-21 01:41:38,167 INFO zen.collector.scheduler: Tasks: 231 Successful_Runs: 197 Failed_Runs: 0 Missed_Runs: 0 Queued_Tasks: 0 Running_Tasks: 5

     

    is saying 231 Tasks (definitely high but may be a trap storm),

    Successful_Runs: 197

    Failed Runs: 0

    ....

    We are at 3.2.1.

     

    Looking even closer at our zentrap.log, the zentrap die seems to happen every 12 hours - regular as clockwork.

     

    We have fixed the issue by restarting zentrap in cron every hour. 

     

    Could anyone else with this problem check whether they are also seeing the 12-hour cycle and could you check whether it coincides with zenmodeler running (we have lost the zenmodeler logs that match up with the zentrap logs from before our cron kludge).  That's the only thing I can think of that typically runs every 12 hours.

     

    Cheers,

    Jane

    Re: ZENTRAP keeps going down

    Jane:

     

    We're seeing this problem in Zenoss v4.1 as well, but with more than just zentrap. Do you see any unjellyable errors in zenhub (in debug mode) when zentrap tries to fetch its updated config?

     

    Best,

    Re: ZENTRAP keeps going down

    Don't see any "jelly" around but CPU on zentrap seems to go through the roof as you approach failure condition.

     

    We are restarting zentrap every hour with cron using:

     

    # Restart the zentrap Daemon every hour

    0 * * * * /usr/local/zenoss/zenoss/bin/zentrap restart >> /home/zenoss/zendisc_crontab.log 2>&1

     

    This sometimes produces following messages in zentrap.log on daemon restart:

    I have opened a ticket against 3.2.1 - http://dev.zenoss.com/trac/ticket/7885 .

    Jane:

     

    Sorry. I'd meant that the unjellyable message will show up in the zenhub feeding zentrap.

    Re: ZENTRAP keeps going down

    I've experienced the same problem and it seems to be compounded by a zenmodeler process that's running.  Meaning, I have a process that kicks off every night to model all of our devices on a collector.  When this runs I see the collected zentrap events shoot through the roof.  I put in a cron job to restart zentrap hourly on Tuesday and you can see in the graphs the collected events will drop but then immediately shoot back up.

    Is anyone else seeing something similar or can suggest how the zenmodeler and zentrap events correlate?

     

    Thanks,

    John

    Re: ZENTRAP keeps going down

    Yeh - that mirrors what we are seeing.  I opened ticket  7885 3 weeks back but it doesn't look like it has made any progress even though I set it at priority 1.

     

    Any update from Zenoss would be much appreciated by a few of us now

     

    Cheers,

    Jane

    Hey Phil, is there any update on this issue? We've just upgraded to v3.2 and are seeing the exact same problem.

     

    Thanks

    Re: ZENTRAP keeps going down

    No update to the ticket other than a target of Core 4 alpha. 

     

    Zenoss???  Is it in the current alpha build?

     

    Cheers,

    jcurry:

     

    We haven't had any issues with zentrap in v4.1.1 as of yet. Should be working in v4.1.7 also.

    Re: ZENTRAP keeps going down

    Sad that an issue that's so pronounced and affects a Zenoss environment so much hasn't had a fix come out.  I realize there's a lot of resources going into 4.x, but it's easy to see how one could have missed events because of this bug starving the host for resources.

    Re: ZENTRAP keeps going down

    Agreed, I would think a key to avoiding this issue in future releases would be to understand what is causing it in the current release.
