Reply To: Auto-bouncing threads

[David Dillard]

Hi,

We also ran into some problems with a couple of our connecitons where they get ‘clogged up’ and stop sending messages.  The root cause could not be located so a ‘temporary but semi-permanent fix’ was put in place.

An alert was setup to watch the thread and to call an external script when triggered.

Example:

{VALUE opque} {SOURCE Test1} {MODE actual} {WITH -1} {COMP {> 10}} {FOR {nmin 30}} {WINDOW {* * * * * *}} {HOST {}} {ACTION {{exec {bumpThread.sh Testoutbound Test1}}}}

The script then uses the hcicmd to stop and start the thread.

We created a generic script to allow us to pass in the process and thread names into the script so it can be reused

$1 == Process Name

$2 == Thread Name

#; stop the thread

hcicmd -p $1 -c “$2 pstop”

#; Set for specific timespan but could be changed

#;     to watch and wait for the thread to go down before

#;     bringing it back up again

sleep 30

#; start the thread

hcicmd -p $1 -c “$2 pstart”
