Too much traffic on the server FOG

[sapeurorca]

Hello,

I use FOG 1.3.3, FOG Service 0.11.8 and i think i have a problem between the server and the client.

The CPU on server Fog is 100% and kill apache and mysql with “Out of memory: Kill process or sacrifice child”.
I suppose that the process is “ksoftirqd” and I assumed a problem with the network card.

For test, i have just change IP adress and i restart this server. After the restart, the server it’s OK, for sure, i change again with normal IP and the server crash again.
I suppose that is the FOG Client communicate with this IP adress, but why ?

I have 2000 Client.

Thank you for help.

@sapeurorca we are up to version 1.5.4 now and with the release of 1.4.0 I believe the client communication method changed to use a single poll request during this (though that may have been with 1.3.5).

I would highly recommend updating your instance of fog to gain the benefits and features.

If upgrading doesn’t fix the client communication then you can adjust the client check-in time from the fog settings page.

Okay thanks, I’ll try this solution and I’ll come back.

Hello, I started by updating the FOG Server.
Now FOG Server it’s in 1.5.4 but the client it’s not update.

I noticed an error in the database, in the base “usertracking” and very much traffic :

• Traffic => 8Go in 30minutes on the database

• 

These values ​​are normal?

Thank you

@sapeurorca I have not seen a FOG update damaging the database. Not saying that it cannot happen but I have never heard of it.

Maybe try manually fixing it? Try the myisamchk commands suggested here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8843776/mysql-table-is-marked-as-crashed-and-last-automatic-repair-failed (don’t forget to shut down the DB at first as mentioned)

@Sebastian-Roth I do not think it’s the update that damaged it. I think that de database was damaged before and and that’s why I had problems on the server. It’s a suposition, I did not think to check before.

I will try your solution.

The Fog Client and Fog Server are up to date and database is fixed.

Now the Fog Server working properly now.

Thank You for your help.
