Hi. I've got collect running constantly on one of my systems here (ES80, Tru64
5.1b, patchkit 2, running COLUTIL200 (I had to remove COLUTIL540 because it
lacked some functionality of the previous version according to HP)), and I have
a cron job to run cfilt on the data file and extract the "idle" time for a
specific time period.
The script has been running fine for a few months now, but I've noticed that for
the past several weeks the data from any given Sunday is missing. I tried
running the cfilt commands manually, and when I do that, I get the error
message:
"termination record missing from data file"
This only ever happens for the data file created on Sunday. Saturday is fine,
and so is Monday. Can anyone think of a reason this would happen? And just on
Sunday? The file looks like every other file, starting at 0:05 and ending at
0:05 the next day. If I try to use collgui and plot the times, I get an error
message like this:
"gnuplot> plot [] [-5:] '/var/tmp/collgui.154678' using 1:3 title 'cpu:idle'
line 0: x range is invalid"
Here is the actual collect command that is running:
/usr/sbin/collect -ol -i30,60 -f /var/adm/collect.dated/collect -H d0:5,1m -W
30m -M 10,15
Nothing special happens to this system on Sunday, it is rebooted once a week on
Wednesday nights (and the scripts run fine for this night).
Any info would be welcome.
