Sysmon - latest CPU Utilisation charts not available

Hi prpr

IT'S WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do I still need to open a second telnet session?

Can you please summarise what was wrong, how it happened and what fixed it (all for future reference)?
 
I think I've been having a different cause for the problem. No CPU data since 11 Feb.
Running the crontab entry "/mod/monitor/run" shows:
Code: 
Runtime Error: /mod/monitor/lib/db.jim:69: database disk image is malformed
in procedure 'record' called at file "/mod/monitor/bin/smart", line 38
at file "/mod/monitor/lib/db.jim", line 69

If I run sqlite3 /mod/monitor/monitor.db "SELECT * FROM smart;" I see this at the end.
Code: 
1392088682|raw|0|0|432|0|2593
1392088742|raw|0|0|432|0|2593

1392089100|5min|0|0|432|0|2593
Error: database disk image is malformed

To fix it I just renamed monitor.db and ran "/mod/monitor/run", and a new DB file is created.

Finally, to restore the historic data, I ran:
Code: 
humax# sqlite3 /mod/monitor/monitor.db.bak ".dump" > backup.sql
humax# sqlite3 /mod/monitor/monitor.db < backup.sql
Error: near line 3: table smart already exists
Error: near line 3292: table temp already exists
Error: near line 6597: table vmstat already exists

It appears to be working for the moment now. Not sure what happened after the last good reading at "Tue, 11 Feb 2014 03:25:00 GMT"
 
Just rebooted again (from webif) and it's still working fine so looks like it's fixed.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to help, particularly prpr, all very much appreciated.
 
Hi prpr

Now that it's on from standby, it's not working again.

As per my post #60, I completed the first and second 'tests' but stopped after that as I didn't (and still don't) know how to open a second telnet session.

Can you please pick it up from there and let me know what I need to do now?
 
Hi Ezra Pound and Black Hole.

Start/run/telnet/192.168.x.x.

I have just downloaded a portable version of Putty so could use it but may need some help.

Do I start from the beginning as per prpr's post #57 or just the last part?
 
As long as your Telnet session opens in a window you can just run Start/run/telnet 192.168.x.x twice, you will then have two Telnet windows available, enter prpr's last two of 4 lines (starting with pkill crond) in one window and then run the 1 Minute stuff in the other window
 
I thought I tried that but will try again.

Don't want to mess up recordings scheduled for tonight so will try tomorrow and hopefully prpr will be able to let me know where to start from.

Thanks for your help.
 
As af123 said, it looks like a Cron problem, but what exactly is proving rather elusive.
Reboot the Humax and run this in one window:
Code: 
humax# sqlite3 /mod/monitor/monitor.db "select * from vmstat where dat>1393095000"
every minute for a few minutes.
Then in another window do this:
Code: 
humax# pkill crond
humax# /mod/sbin/crond -f -d 1
and repeat the command in window 1 every few minutes. If you see entries being added in the database, then do this in window 2:
Code: 
humax# pkill crond
humax# /mod/sbin/crond
and repeat the command in window 1 every few minutes. Do you see entries being added to the database or not?
 
Hi prpr

The second session of telnet is changing/updating but not sure about entries being added to the database.

Session two is still changing/updating.

What do I do now please?
 
Let's try a slightly different approach...

You missed this step, so make sure you do it now:
Edit your /mod/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root file to change this line:
* * * * * /mod/monitor/run
to this:
* * * * * /mod/monitor/run -d

Edit your /mod/etc/init.d/S01crond file to change this:
/mod/sbin/crond & ;;
to this:
# /mod/sbin/crond & ;;
/mod/sbin/crond -f -d 1 >/mod/tmp/crond.log 2>&1 & ;;

Then reboot the Humax and use the Webif's Diag page to look at crond.log

You should see lines like this:
Code: 
crond: USER root pid 25292 cmd /mod/monitor/run -d

        dat integer not null primary key,

        (dat, scope, realloc, offline, startstop, pending, poh) values(1393195861,'raw', '0', '0', '294', '0', '10079'))

        (dat, scope, temp) values(1393195862,'raw', '43'))

crond: wakeup dt=10

Please don't post all the cr@p from the top of the file - it's very dull and we've seen it all before!
 
Hi prpr

Ok with the first two changes but not clear where this line goes:-

/mod/sbin/crond -f -d 1 >/mod/tmp/crond.log 2>&1 & ;;

Is this how it should look after the changes:-

#!/bin/sh

export TZ=GMT+0BST,M3.5.0/1,M10.5.0/2

case "$1" in
start)
#/mod/sbin/crond & ;;
/mod/sbin/crond -f -d 1 >/mod/tmp/crond.log 2>&1 & ;;

stop)
killall crond ;;
*)
exit 1 ;;
esac

Thanks for your help.

Yeah, the line with the # just stops it working, so all you need to do to put it back as it was is to remove the # and the following line. Saves trying to remember what it was before...

There should be a line starting with "RECORD:" after the "Creating table" bits, but there isn't. The cause of that would seem to be the Runtime Error about being unable to load the library. The cause of that is unclear.
You could try a "opkg --force-reinstall install procps" and see if that helps.
 
That looks like it could be a missing or broken mod environment file...

Try 'cat /mod/.env' from the command line.
