Hi,
I would like to report a small glitch in remote monitoring on a server, that
runs a docker instance, and consequently uses a veth interface:
vethb7de752: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::2834:68ff:xxxx:xxxx prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether 2a:34:68:ae:xx:xx txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 136 bytes 71275 (69.6 KiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
The most apparent issue is, that a docker restart results in appearance of a
second monitor (it doesn't detect the old iface going away), hence the gkrellm
grows in undesirable ways.
The more profound issue is:
$ ls ~/.gkrellm2/data_S-XXXX/net/veth* | wc -l
940
While I understand, that gkrellm want to collect statistic data, this creates
a funny configuration dialog (see screenshot). It boils down to: GTK doesn't
deal with such dialogs "that" well (-geometry 6121x438+219+57), it is
disordered, has lost its usual window decoration and unlike the attached
screenshot may imply, the OK button is far on the right (just imagine the
dialog extending ~6000 pixel to the right with the funny colored stripes).
Obviously, it needs some sane limit on the number of interfaces, it deals
with. I can imagine, that this isn't solved easily.. If somebody want to work
on that issue, I can send him a tarball of that data (I'm not afraid of
revealing secrets, but just don't want to spread data mindlessness.
Cheers,
Pete
