Description |
If you monitor "proc.num [zabbix_agentd]" in Ubuntu 16.04, the return value will increase.

I think will occur on Kernel Version 3.17+ because /proc/thread-self/ /proc/thread-self (since Linux 3.17) This directory refers to the thread accessing the /proc filesystem, and is identical to the /proc/self/task/[tid] directory named by the process thread ID ([tid]) of the same thread. It leads to incorrect results for proc.num[zabbix_agentd] self monitoring. |

to clarify, the problem description above already includes "zabbix_agentd -t..." process (numbered item 5), but there is an unexpected 6th item. |

Explanation looks very plausible. Quick testing with such debug logging: Index: src/libs/zbxsysinfo/linux/proc.c =================================================================== --- src/libs/zbxsysinfo/linux/proc.c (revision 67457) +++ src/libs/zbxsysinfo/linux/proc.c (working copy) @@ -805,6 +805,8 @@ if (FAIL == check_procstate(f_stat, zbx_proc_stat)) continue; + printf("%s ", entries->d_name); + proccount++; } zbx_fclose(f_cmd); yields the following result (no agents running in the background): $ src/zabbix_agent/zabbix_agentd -t 'proc.num[zabbix_agentd]' proc.num[zabbix_agentd] thread-self 19230 [u|2] $ uname -sr Linux 4.4.0-72-generic |
