Re: issues with pmlogger_daily via cron

G'day Sharif, I'm not altogether sure of the problem here ... let me guess ...


Thanks.

> loca -c /var/lib/pcp/config/pmlogger/logger.config '

the -c here is wrong?

This is my cron line: 

/usr/lib64/pcp/bin/pmlogger_daily -V -c /var/lib/pcp/config/pmlogger/logger.control


To debug this we'll need ...

1. output from $ grep PS /etc/pcp.conf

# grep PS /etc/pcp.conf 
PCP_PS_PROG=ps
PCP_PS_HAVE_BSD=false
PCP_PS_ALL_FLAGS=-efw

2. your pmlogger control file

root# cat /var/lib/pcp/config/pmlogger/logger.control
#
# archive logging configuration/control

# local pcp-storage logger
LOCALHOSTNAME   n   n   /var/lib/pcp-storage/archives/localhost -c /var/lib/pcp/config/pmlogger/logger.config -r -l /var/log/pcp-storage/pmlogger.log -U root

3. can you rerun this with pmlogger_daily being run from cron with -V -V (very verbose)?

The cron did not return anything for a while. So I restarted pcp and got this in the mail. Before the restart there was a defunct process. 

Here's the -V -V output: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/f4ae6f70e3d62ed9b28f436fae9b5a39#file-pmlogger


4. output from


	$ . /etc/pcp.conf
	$ $PCP_PS_PROG $PCP_PS_ALL_FLAGS | grep '[p]mlogger'

I did notice a defunct process. We have this running at 00:10 

/usr/lib/pcp-storage/logger_reduce -c /var/lib/pcp/config/pmlogger/logger.control


I restarted pcp. Now: 

# $PCP_PS_PROG $PCP_PS_ALL_FLAGS | grep '[p]mlogger'
pcp       25399      1  0 11:24 pts/11   00:00:00 pmlogger -P -r -T24h10m -c config.default -m pmlogger_check 20170214.11.24
