KBI 312174 Issue Addressed: Primary Generator Runs Out Of Disk Space When Secondary Generators Are Deployed

Version

Argent Omega 2.2A-2401-A and earlier

Date

Thursday, 13 June 2024

Summary

When deployed, Secondary Generators periodically uploads runtime data including Relator trace log, connectivity status, network scan results, etc. to the Primary Generator

The Primary Generator then updates SQL database

The runtime data is compressed before uploading. The compressed files can be found in RUNTIME folder on Secondary Generator side, and WO\{Secondary Generator Name} on Primary Generator side.

It has been identified that Secondary Generator has resource leak during the process. The obvious symptoms include:

  • There are more and more compressed files (*.Z) accumulated in WO\{Secondary Generator Name} on Primary Generator side.
  • The size of compressed file (*.Z) grows over time.
  • Memory usage of process ‘ArgentOmegaMain.exe’ grows on both Primary Generator and Secondary Generator sides.
  • CPU usage might be affected as well.

In the extreme scenario, Primary Generator can run out of disk space because of too many *.Z files not processed

The issue has been addressed in Argent Omega 2.2A-2404-A

Technical Background

The issue is caused by coding error

Resolution

Upgrade to Argent Omega 2.2A-2404-A or later
