[rrd-developers] Internal error while talking to rrdcached

[Steve Shipway]

Rrdcached is one of the parts of rrdtool that is rapidly developing.  It may be that the Zenoss application requires a more recent version in order to get additional options.

 

However the error seems to indicate that your problem lies more at the filesystem end; possibly the rrdcached cannt read the required file due to ownerships, permissions, or simply process limits such as the max open file descriptors (to fix this latter, update the limits.conf and restart the rrdcached process).  My tentative guess at this point would be the ‘nofile’ setting in limits.conf preventing the file from being opened.

Subject: [rrd-developers] Internal error while talking to rrdcached

 

Hi,

 

I'm getting following error from Zenoss monitoring setup, but the root cause is unclear. 

Possibly you could give some insight or tips where to look at? Already tried via Zenoss community forum (http://community.zenoss.org/thread/18663) but no luck there so far.

Is there any (rrdcached?) command that I could run/tryout test whether the problem really is in rrdtool/rrdcached ?
