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
display 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's
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,
they're part of the dialog, not the background).
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 dump data mindlessness.
Cheers,
Pete
