[rrd-users] R: RRDTOOL - SNMP & System Resources

Mon Jun 7 12:22:30 MEST 2004

Hi!
I've allready split the scripts into 2 different jobs... Why 2?
The most of the RRD Files are taken from 2 DSL routers.
The script execute an SNMPWALK to collect ALL devices (xDSL) confiugred on
the Router and if new VP-VC are configured, then an RRD will be created and
ifInOctets/ifOutOctets are stored. Also merge different rrd into one is a
litte difficult, because the number of configured xDSL lines can change.
Ah, only another program is running on the Server. It's Nagios (to monitor
some devices -in test-), but it doesn't use much resources.
Do you (or someone) have an idea WHY the free memory is falling down and the
swap incease until the server crashs?
As you can see in the picture, after a REBOOT the free memory is 220MB,
after an hour it falls to 20MB quickly, then stable to 10MB and the swap
increase... It's strange.. Because the scripts will be execute and then
finish (almost) within 5 minutes, also i _think_ the memory should be return
free.
I don't think RRD-Tool use so much RAM during the update, or yes?

Thanks in advice.

Simon
