Zabbix_server stops sometimes by itself

[csf]

Hello All,

Sometimes our Zabbix-Server stops and we do not know why.

OS: SuSE 10.2
Tried versions of Zabbix_server: 1.4.2, 1.4.3, 1.4.4
Zabbix_server.log:
.................................................. ....
6957:20080204:191605 One child process died. Exiting ...
6957:20080204:191607 ZABBIX Server stopped
.................................................. .......................

Does anyone has the same problem? What can we do?

Thanks for any help.

Leonid.

May I ask you to try pre 1.4.5 code available from www.zabbix.com/developers.php? We fixed a couple of a serious problems in 1.4.4.

Thanks for your quick answer.
I tried the new version 1.4.5 but now I get the error in Zabbix_server.log:

3482:20080212:101533 Query failed:Unknown column 't.type' in 'field list' [1054]
3482:20080212:101533 Query::select distinct t.triggerid,t.expression,t.description,t.url,t.com ments,t.status,t.value,t.priority,t.type from triggers t,functions f,items i where i.status<>3 and i.itemid=f.itemid and t.status=0 and f.triggerid=t.triggerid and f.itemid=29498

The server starts but I get no connection to any agent and there is noch change in the frontpage.

It seems you downloaded pre 1.6 code, not pre 1.4.5!

[csf]

Sorry!
You are right!
I shall try now.

Hello Alexej,

I have unpacked archive (ZABBIX Sources Pre 1.4.x (stable) 5341 12 Feb, 2008), but there there is version 1.4.4 not 1.4.5.

zabbix:/tmp/zabbix-1.4.4 #

[Alexei]

That's fine. The version number is not updated yet. Make new binaries and check if it works for you.

[csf]

OK.
I have started. We shall look tomorrow. The demon falls through the period of 10-15 hours.

Many Thanks.

Leonid.

Odd that Alexei didn't suggest you try and debug the issue first.

In zabbix_server.conf,

# Specifies debug level
# 0 - debug is not created
# 1 - critical information
# 2 - error information
# 3 - warnings (default)
# 4 - for debugging (produces lots of information)

DebugLevel=2
#DebugLevel=4

Increase to 4 and take a look at the output to try and work out what the cause really is.

I've had weird issues with 1.4.4 on MySQL, but not with PostgreSQL as the database. I havn't had any random crashes of the server daemons since the original 1.4 release.

Hello Alexei,

All still. The demon has died again.

Ok.
Before was 3.
Now I made a level 4.

[araw]

See previous post about debugging level ?

[csf]

See previous post about debugging level ?

Yes.
It is so important to begin from level 2 ?

[araw]

Nope, chuck it up to 4 so you get lots of output.

ie.

#DebugLevel=2
DebugLevel=4

**EDIT

Ah, just noticed you have.

Has it crashed and produced any more info yet ? Is there any pattern to the crashes ? ie. every three hours or somethign along those lines ?

[csf]

Crash occurs with different period, without an exact interval.
The maximal period is 10-12 hour.
After start with level 4 (6:20 German Time) while all works without Errors.
If the demon will die I shall take log-file.

P.S. Excuse for my bad English.

Leonid.
