Yeah this seems to be a performance issue of some type and the fdb table stuff seems like a side effect. I?m scratching my head as to why it worked fine before the upgrade. In fact, here is the observium.log output before/after the upgrade:

I did the upgrade and then the poller starts running poorly. Then I see the side effect of the of the duplicate entries with the fdb table because the poller processes are running so slowly they are stacking on top of each other.
So I have some kind of performance issue.
One strange thing, I only have 45 devices I?m polling, yet the port count under the Port menu says I have 44859 ports. That must be a miscalculation of some type or my database is messed up somewhere. Not sure if related or not.
Going to continue to try the poller manually and see if I can figure out where the slowdown is.

Man, why didn't I think of this?
This sounds like the problem. I guess something caused your poller processes to get confused, and they ended up running in parallel, not unthinkable when the same part of the poller process runs for so long, 74 seconds for the fdb-table module.
If you don't /really/ need this data, I'd recommend disabling it. It's one of the trade offs we have to make between performance and data.
If you still want the fdb data, you can force that module to be run using a less-often scheduled process in cron like ./poller.php -h all -m fdb-table
Note that this will break whatever graphs (fdb count?) that fdb-table produces, but you'll still have the data in the database.

Here is the requested output. I had to kill all the other poller processes running on the system to get it to run (they were hosing the CPU). Oddly enough, once I killed all the other processes, I didn?t any problems running it (back to being fast). Also don?t seem to be getting the errors in the db.log when running the poller ?one-at-a-time?.

Hi Aaron,
These seem to be gone from my db.log. Could you send me a ./poller.php -h 54 -m fdb-table -d ?
Thanks,
adam.

Just today I updated to the latest and greatest (0.15.8.6882). I was several revisions behind and several database updates were done as a result. After the update, I noticed my poller.php processes started taking all the CPU, started getting gaps in the graphs, etc. I noticed thousands of these entries in db.log:

If I run a poller process against a switch manually, everything seems to run fine with the exception of the fdb-table module, which is taking over 600 seconds to run.
Here is the schema of my vlans_fdb file:

Does my table structure look right? I see someone else on the list has had this same issue, but there is no indication that this should be a problem in the latest version.
What should I check? Thanks for any help.
