I haven't noticed any errors through xymond_client or from debug mode.

After running the xymoncmd line above I get the following:

./xymoncmd xymon 127.0.0.1 "xymondlog wstc-lr0dhcp1.svcs"

Hi,

(4.3.27)  Is anyone aware of any conflicts that may have been introduced
after patching?  Since this is a production server, I run patches on a
monthly basis, with the most recent patching occurring on 9/29, which is
coincidentally when the problem started occurring.

Can you run from the command line:
xymoncmd xymon 127.0.0.1 "xymondlog <hostname>.<affectedtestname>"
for a test (like svcs) that you're seeing now? I'm curious if the garbled
data is showing in memory or if it's happening (just) on the web layer.

I'm not aware of any outstanding issues in xymond_client code that
wouldn't be affecting lots of people, but it's possible we have a bug
here. Most of the recent changes have been either new features or CSP/XSS
fixes at the display layer.


Have you noticed any errors coming through xymond_client, or any patterns
from running it in --debug mode?

As
you can see, it is random as to how and where the output corrupts,

On the Windows systems, I run BBWin for the client (version 0.13).  I
should be able to put the xymond_client process into debug mode to
monitor
for a while as well..  The problem is less predominant on Linux clients
than on Windows, but it is occurring on both.

The server is running on CentOS 7 with current patches.

Hmm. Does the data after the corrupted lines appear to match the
remaining data for the server in question? From the sample below it
seems
not (as I believe this is reported in alphabetical order), which might
indicate indicate a broader memory corruption issue going on within
xymond_client, where it's somehow losing track of the end or garbling
the
data in the buffer being used for holding status output. If it's
causing a
false positive, then it's not merely the final output that's the
problem,
but something occurring earlier in processing.

What OS+distro is the server running on?
Any chance you might be able to run xymond_client in debug mode for a
bit
while this is occurring?

Hi JC-

Thanks for the response.

I am using Xymon 4.3.27 currently.  The raw client data looks fine-
there
are no corrupted lines and no added brackets or special characters that
I
can see.  This only occurs on the status pages.

The server has been running since May, and this particular problem
started at the end of Sept., after running Windows Update on my
servers,
but as both Windows and Linux clients are showing the behavior, I have
ruled out the updates as the issue.

I have tried restarting the service with no effect on behavior and
there
is nothing in the log files that show a problem that I can see.  The
level
of false positives due to formatting errors has remained relatively
consistent, and tends to be limited to the PROCS (Win, Linux) and SVCS
(Win
only) tests, but occasionally will see the same error occurring on the
DISK
and CPU tests, although that is significantly less frequent, and is not
across all configured machines.  The PROCS/SVCS tests are showing
random
errors on one machine or another approximately every 5 minutes.

Thanks
Greg.

Hi Greg,

Is there anything unusual about the process names on the lines
immediately
before the corruption? There's a known issue in that lines starting
with
a
bracket will cause missing data, and this can happen more frequently
on
Windows servers just by virtue of some of the data that's coming
across,
but that doesn't appear to be causing this specific issue.


Can you confirm which version of Xymon server you're using? Do you see
the
same corruption in the "raw" Client Data for the affected servers, or
is
it only occurring on the status pages?

Also -- anything unusual in the log files? Has this problem been
constant
since it started, or is it getting worse? Does restarting the xymon
service fix it (temporarily)?


Regards,
