Thanks a lot. But since the time I asked the question the DB has gone into a state where it keeps logging 2013-02-11 04:12:40 ERR merovingian[15380]: client error: database 'msearch_stats_db' has crashed after starting, manual intervention needed, check monetdbd's logfile for details in merovingian.log. Health is 1%. What can I do at this stage? Thanks and Regards, Tapomay. ________________________________ From: Fabian Groffen <fabian@monetdb.org> To: users-list@monetdb.org Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2013 11:33 PM Subject: Re: monetdb status health On 10-02-2013 09:44:09 -0800, Tapomay Dey wrote:
My questions are simple:
what causes crashes?
The mserver5 (monetdb database) terminates in such a way that it can not be considered a clean shutdown, this is usually the case when the program gets terminated due to a condition that makes further execution impossible, e.g. memory faults. These are almost always program errors.
what is health?
Health is the percentage of start-stop sequences compared to the number of times the database was actually started. E.g. how many times a start was followed by a clean shutdown (hence no crash).
how do we stop health from degrading?
You can't, a database that crashes, and keeps on doing so will cause the health of the database to degrade.
Following is the status of my db- start count: 140 stop count: 1 crash count: 138
So, essentially, every time you start your database, it never reaches a point where you stop it cleanly, but instead your database crashes all the time. -- Fabian Groffen fabian@monetdb.org column-store pioneer http://www.monetdb.org/Home _______________________________________________ users-list mailing list users-list@monetdb.org http://mail.monetdb.org/mailman/listinfo/users-list
