Zabbix agent seg faults on 64-bit CPU

XMLWordPrintable

      Hi everyone,

      I can't seem to get zabbix_agentd to run on my 64-bit Red Hat boxes. I'm able to compile it from source fine, but it always seg-faults when I try to start the agent. This happens even using the default conf file that comes with the package. Note that the same package compiles and runs fine on my 32-bit RH boxes.

      One 8-CPU box with 16 gig of RAM has this:

      uname -a
      Linux <name removed> 2.6.9-42.0.10.0.1.ELlargesmp #1 SMP Tue Feb 27 12:34:42 PST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

      From my strace files:

      fork() = 23848
      fork() = 23849
      fork() = 23850
      fork() = 23851
      fork() = 23852
      rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD,

      {0x40cde0, [], SA_RESTORER, 0x420840}

      , NULL, 8) = 0
      wait4(23848, [

      {WIFSIGNALED(s) && WTERMSIG(s) == SIGSEGV}

      ], 0, NULL) = 23848
      — SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) —

      From child 23848:

      mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x2a95557000
      read(5, "cpu 298693338 2553 76045905 269"..., 1024) = 1024
      read(5, " 0 158680204 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"..., 1024) = 574
      read(5, "", 1024) = 0
      close(5) = 0
      munmap(0x2a95557000, 4096) = 0
      — SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) —

      I'm not a linux programmer, but it seems to have something to do with memory mapping. I thought this might be a bug, but I'm not seeing much else in the forums about it.
      Anyone have any ideas?

        1. stat
          2 kB
        2. cpuinfo
          8 kB
