Signal 11 (SEGV) caught by ps (3.3.12).
Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2018 8:30 am
Not sure if this is a bug, or if something else is going on.
NEMS instance has been cooking along without issue. No changes made. Been super useful as we've been moving things around on the network.
One day nagios starts throwing an warning (amber) on NEMS (it is monitoring itself). The "total Processes" monitor goes amber and the status information says "System call sent warnings to stderr: Signal 11 (SEGV) caught by ps (3.3.12)."
Huh.
I login to the nems host at the cli, and the login screen that usually has the colorful NEMS status looks like this.

Huh.
Sure enough, if i try to manually run "ps". More or less the same thing.

This seems to be persistent across hard/soft reboots.
Now it is possible something just got corrupted. I have not re-imaged. My googling of the various messages highlights a number of past and present bugs that are similar.
I guess my question(s) are:
Has anyone else run into this?
Has there been any update to anything slipped in about 6/7 days ago?
Nems seems to be running fine otherwise, so the urgency is low, but something is not quite right.
I have no issue with re-imaging but wanted to make an inquiry before I did so.
Thanks for this, and a great product.
