[mrtg] number of monitored routers is it related to MRTG stopping RRDB update?

[Alex Koueik]

Hi,

 

We are currently monitoring 300 routers. Is there anyone monitoring a higher
number of devices with MRTG RRDB?

Our problem is that MRTG server stops updating the RRDBs while the MRTG
process is still running.

We tried het below:

1-      Stopped and restarted the MRTG processes, RDDBs are updated for a
period and then stopped again.

2-      Increased the child processes (Forks) from 4 to 12 processes, RDDBs
updated for a period and then stopped again.

3-      We installed a carbon copy of MRTG on another machine the problem
occurred on both machines at different times.

4-      We debugged snmp on some of the routers during the outage, they were
not receiving any snmp requests from MRTG.

5-    We are getting from messages log: "ERROR: I Quit! Another copy of mrtg
seems to be running. Check /data/mrtg-2/cfg/mrtg.pid"

6-    In the MRTG debug we are getting the following : 

"ERROR: Target[route1][_IN_] ' $target->[14]{$mode} ' did not eval into
defined data"

 

"SNMPGET Problem for 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.1 on
community at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::::1:2:v4only

            at /data/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg line 2149

2009-09-01 00:13:47 -- --snpo: SNMPfound -- 'undef', 'undef'"

 

 

 

OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant) 3.4.3-9.EL4

MRTG: mrtg-2.15.1

RRDtool: rrdtool-1.2.19

 

Any pointers on where the problem is, is highly appreciated.

 

Best regards,
