Client with AIX 7.1 TL04 SP01 - the agent no longer sends data over

aharabagiu

Hi:

I was asked to change the date of the client (one month in the future) , and after a while to revert it back to the current date.
Now, after the date is back to normal (and I've removed the comment from the crontab, on the agent), the data from the client is no longer sent over; the agent's log displays this message: 

Agent send     : not sending data this time (act_time=1504626009, last_send_time=1506793080, next_time=1506793380, random=3)

What I did so far:
- moved out the data for the system in question (under /tmp directory)
- forced a client send after I removed the data folder - no luck
- forced a server refresh - no luck.

What else can I do? and How do I re-install the client?

Sincerely yours,

Alex H.

Hi,

it works as designed.
Basically there is not possible tu update older data in RRDTool database files. It is a feature.
You wrote data 1 month ahead. The it will start working in 1 month.
All data inserts being refused now.

Only what you can do is delete whole OS agent data history for that LPAR.
Then it will start from the point when you changed data back (data is being saved on the client now)

Hi:

Thanks for the quick response.

Additional steps taken:
- On the server side, I've erased the data folder for the client in question.
- On the client side, I've cleaned up /var/tmp location for any lpar2rrd related files and forced a new run.


Still having the same problem: not sending data. Is there anything else to do, other than waiting 2 months to get the data?

do you use dual HMC or you have any old HMC directory in  data/<server> ?
if so the you have to delete like this:
rm data/<server>/*/<lpar name>/*mmm

Once you do it then it should start working.
