NCPA 3.2.0 Python Errors

Post by marchiom »

I updated NCPA to 3.2.0-1 on Oracle Linux 9 servers. I am now seeing errors in /var/log/messages:

Aug 22 15:16:47 ncpa[25708]: Exception ignored in: <function _after_fork at 0x7f347b1e1120>
Aug 22 15:16:47 ncpa[25708]: Traceback (most recent call last):

Aug 22 15:16:47 ncpa[25708]: Exception ignored in: <bound method _ForkHooks.after_fork_in_child of <gevent.threading._ForkHooks object at 0x7f347a76f620>>
Aug 22 15:16:47 ncpa[25708]: Traceback (most recent call last):
Aug 22 15:16:47 ncpa[25708]: File "gevent/threading.py", line 376, in after_fork_in_child

It looks like NCPA starts and is functioning, but those errors continually repeat and are filling up the log.

Hi @marchiom,

Thank you for the report. I put this into issue tracking on the NCPA repo on github at https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/ncpa/issues/1291

Hello everyone,

We have released NCPA v3.2.1. This release mostly addresses build related issues, but we believe some of those problems were indirectly related to the NCPA error messages that users have been seeing in their log files. The new release should stop the python error messages from appearing in the system log files.

Cheers,
- Cole
