gmetad interactive port stops functioning occasionally

[cburroughs]

Is there any other debugging information I can provide, or should capture when this next occurs?

[vvuksan]

I would suggest starting to keep track of connections to gmetad. Something like

netstat -an | grep 8652 | wc -l

maybe even get the breakdown ie. TIME_WAIT, ESTABLISHED and see if that points to anything interesting.

If this is still happening make sure you load the debug symbols for ganglia when you run gdb. That would help a lot in understanding where exactly in the gmetad code each thread has hung.

I do not believe I have seen this in a while, at least since I installed debug symbols.
