 Description   

while zabbix server tries to survive database down conditions, sometimes it does die with signal 6 (sigabrt)

19119:20120210:104009.143 server #681 started history syncer #30

for the record, there seemed to be other message occurrences like that, which didn't seem to result in immediate process death (although it might be just a question of time)

Have a look at http://ora-04031.ora-code.com/. That's something on Oracle server side, IMHO.

Comment by richlv [ 2012 Feb 11 ]

the inability to allocate memory - definitely. but zabbix server was supposed to survive db being down & retry - apparently, in this case it's not (and it dies with sigabrt)

edit : if course, if this is coming from the oci library and can not be avoided, this issue should be closed. the fact that there is no backtrace makes me slightly suspicious

very similar but seems another issue is ZBX-4661

Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2012 Sep 04 ]

I am closing it. I think ZBX-4661 is exactly the same issue.
