11.2.2 Installation Configuration
On Windows, you can see the parameters with which the sampler was installed by typing the
following command in that directory (which should contain the
winserv.exe
file) as follows:
On Linux, the parameters for the sampleloop daemon are all in the /etc/sampleloop.conf
file.
11.2.3 InServ Sampling Errors
When the inservsample process for a particular InServ system
logs the error in its
inservsample_
file and exits. The main sampleloop
process will detect that the inservsample process has exited and log the error in its
sampleloop.log
file. For the next sample, the sampleloop process will create a new
inservsample process to sample data from InServ
will roll the
inservsample_
file.
Since there is a separate inservsample process for each InServ system, errors that occur while
sampling one InServ do not generally impact sampling of other InServ systems. However, in the
case of timeout errors, the sampling interval for all the arrays will be stretched to the timeout
limit since the sampleloop process waits until the timeout limit before it continues to the next
sample.
There are two main types of errors incurred by either the inservsample process or the CLI
sampler process as described in the following sections.
