[Monitorix-general] Monitorix hangs

[pablo]

I have been successfully using Monitorix for a few months. However, Monitorix will occasionally become unresponsive to web requests. At that point, if I use "service monitorix restart”, all is fine for a week or a month, until the next hang. When it does hang, top does not show the process as a zombie. What trouble shooting tips will help me find the reason? This happens for Monitorix 3.7 and 3.8.

This is on a ubuntu 14 LTS system. I DO have apache running and I have the native Monitorix web server running too. Is that the issue?

Thanks,
Pablo

Hi,

I remember to have also unexpected hangs in the built-in HTTP server
using an old version of the Perl module 'perl-HTTP-Server-Simple'. They
were not so often like yours, but indeed they existed.

I'm using the 0.44 version here and I've not experienced these hangs
anymore.

If you have an older version like that, then consider upgrading it to
the latest (if possible). I think that the current version of this
module is 0.51.

Regards.

Jordi,

I am also using 0.44, so that does not seem to be the issue. Do you have any ideas what I should check when it next hangs?
Thanks so much!

Pablo,

I think that its latest version is 0.51, so you might want to try it out
just to see if something has been fixed.

Also, if you have Apache working on your system you might want to use it
for Monitorix. Check the file 'monitorix-apache.conf' that comes with
your Monitorix installation.

Regards.
