VP Notify Message

Hello. IDS 11.50 FC8W2 on a Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 box. Does anybody know if when this message is generated 10/20/11 02:14:42 VP Notify mechanism incomplete after 5 minutes. This can be due to slow network file access. Will try 12 more times If there's actually an event generated by the engine that the alarmprogram will catch? Thanks. Jamie

Already happen this with me. At the end of the count down your instance will crash. Get all dumps, (onstats) you can to try identify later what happend. On my case was a defect related with onstat -g stk light execution ...

The engine doesn't crash. We see very high load on the machine and OS becomes unresponsive. The problem is The socket listeners are still responding to connecting (ssh, db, etc), so some of the normal monitoring doesn't indicate that there's a problem, so the problem can go on for hours overnight. If the engine were to alarm when this message occurs, we can at least get some notification when it starts to happen and troubleshoot from there. -----Original Message----- From: ids-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:ids-bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Cesar Inacio Martins Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2011 2:24 PM To: ids@iiug.org Subject: Re: VP Notify Message [25236] Already happen this with me.

ok, your case is totally different situation what append with me... AFAIK there is no trap to use... try write some script to identify when the "vp notify" appear on you log and capture fews of onstat -g act" and "onstat -g stk" over the threads what are running over the VP ... check if have some stranger... I suggest also generate a stack trace of all VP pids , because have chance to not get anything with " -g stk". (on my situation, only using procstack/AIX to discovery the stack trace of the TID.) (on linux you can use strace); On quinta-feira, 20 de outubro de 2011 17:58:22, jgedyedba@teleformix.com wrote: > The engine doesn't crash.

You could trap all alarms with Severity = 1, then do a pattern match on the "additional text" parameter (4th one) to see if you can catch it.
