Comment by richlv [ 2012 Jul 05 ]

temporary resolving to transition in workflow

Comment by Adail Horst [ 2012 Jul 05 ]

yes... i have some of this lines in my log (10... 20...)

As far as I can tell this problem was already in 2.0.0

Comment by Łukasz Jernaś [ 2012 Jul 12 ]

The server is working, restarting it doesn't help. This might be related to the memleak we were observing in 2.0.0.

Comment by Alexander Vladishev [ 2012 Jul 28 ]

Can you please attach log with debug level 4 (~100 lines before the error) and output of SQL commands:

show create table hosts;
show create table items;

Comment by dakol [ 2012 Aug 03 ]

same symptoms here in 2.0.2
Postgresql in use

Comment by Alexander Vladishev [ 2012 Aug 11 ]

It can occur in a case to the duplicated hosts in a node.

Please check it by executing a SQL statement:

select host, count(*) from hosts group by host having count(*) > 1;

Please add condition "where hostid between n00000000000000 and n99999999999999" if you have a distributed monitoring. n - the number of a local node.

Comment by Alexander Vladishev [ 2012 Aug 22 ]

I close the issue. Please reopen if a problem not with the duplicated hosts.

Comment by Olgierd Wolodkiewicz [ 2012 Aug 27 ]

SQL statement: 

select host, count(*) from hosts group by host having count(*) > 1;

doesn't return any records, but the error still exists:

Alexander, thanks for duplicated hosts hint. It helped.
Nevertheless, it'd be VERY useful if in such case (dumpicated hosts) and other corner cases some error message showed up
on the web interface.
Thanks!
