[Observium] tons of rrd zombie processes + solution

19 Mar 2015


      Hi,
FYI on PHP 5.5 we saw a lot of defunt rrdtool proceeses (1 for every image
created in the browser). If you see this there are a couple of
fixes/work-around:
1. Fix it in observium, open ./includes/rrdtool.inc.php and change
*function
   rrdtool_pipe_close(&$rrd_process, &$rrd_pipes)* to *function
   rrdtool_pipe_close($rrd_process, &$rrd_pipes)*
   2. downgrade to PHP 5.4
Seems to be caused by https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69014
