Constant bandwidth suck
-
Lately I’ve noticed there’s been constant activity on the bandwidth graph on the FOG Dashboard. I didn’t realize how bad it was until I looked at the stats for the past week in our firewall:
I’m taking a constant 5M+ hit from the FOG server on our MPLS network. Checking jnettop I see this:
It looks as if every client is constantly trying to download the SmartInstaller.exe, over and over.I’m on version 8215; Ubuntu 14.04
-
what version of client? automatic updating enabled?
-
Pinging the @Senior-Developers about this.
-
Need a fog.log from a host.

The 2 I checked appear to be running 0.10.5
Client updater is enabled globally

I would also recommend upgrading your fog server. There was a mix up a little bit ago with how the server sent the client version. It is possible that this mix up may have inadvertently triggered an update loop. This is just a guess keep in mind, its hard to say without more info.

I do see some errors in the log:

Either re run your fog server installer or upgrade. The smart installer can’t be downloaded from your server. This means it wasn’t obtained properly when you last upgraded your server.

I moved .fogsettings to .fogsettings.old and ran the upgrade. Seems to have fixed all my remaining issues, including my broken replication. Thanks for that. I’ve been upgrading regularly for months now and I’m not sure now if it’s just coincidence that I moved .fogsettings and let it regenerate. In any case, looks like I’m back to normal here. Thanks again.
