25.23 Troubleshooting Supermon problems

The following table describes possible causes of problems with Supermon and provides actions
to correct them.

Corrective actions

Cause/Symptom

Perform the appropriate action:

Ensure that the supermon service is running on the
CMS:

# service supermon status

If not, restart it:

# service supermon restart

Ensure that the mond daemon is running on all the
managed systems:

# pdsh -a -x `headnode` /etc/init.d/mond
status

Supermon is not running

Use the telnet command to connect on the appropriate
port, port 2710 for Supermon and port 2709 for the mond
daemon. Enter the S command after connection to see
metrics data output.

Supermon and mond are running, but there is no activity

Supermon listens on port 2710. The mond daemon listens
on port 2709.

Perform the appropriate action:

Ensure that sensor data is collected and stored in RRD:

# shownode metrics sensors

Verify that metric gathering is working correctly:

# cd /opt/hptc/supermon/usr/bin
# ./get_stats -n server -c nodeinfo
# ./get_stats -n server -c sensors

Supermon and mon are running, but sensor data is not
reported

Run the logger command on the managed systems to
verify that the syslog-ng messages are logged:

# pdsh -a logger -p warn "msg"
# grep "msg"
/hptc_cluster/adm/logs/consolidated.log
