I've been running MRTG with rrdcached, and just had rrdcached lock up (out of memory - seems to have a memory leak somewhere). This causes MRTG (in daemon mode) to fail all updates.
Fine; I restart rrdcached and expect it all to work - but it doesn't. Seems that once MRTG has failed to connect to rrdcached once, it never tries again until you restart.
Should MRTG die when a remote update fails? Or should it re-attempt connection to rrdcached? If so, I'm not sure how, as the RRDs Perl module seems to be the bit to blame for this.
Thoughts?
Steve
