Hi,

I’m currently running a Centreon 23.04.7 on Debian 11.

After a server reboot, centreon-broker daemon won’t start. This occurs “maybe” after a disk full because of /var/lib/centreon/metrics taking full space of my HDD, and i’ve done a deletion of all files in this directory.

Looking at my service logs, the service starts in loop :

● cbd.service - Centreon Broker watchdog
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/cbd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sat 2023-09-23 15:56:18 CEST; 9min ago

     CGroup: /system.slice/cbd.service
             └─1131 /usr/sbin/cbwd /etc/centreon-broker/watchdog.json

In /var/log/messages, i’ve got this beautiful segfault error :

centreon kernel: >  338.996927] cbwd 4904]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f9a120f2334 sp 00007ffdab1adfe0 error 4 in launcher.preload.soa7f9a120f2000+2000]

After looking at ALL logs that are available, the only one that is written about centreon-broker is /var/log/centreon-broker/watchdog.log which print that in loop :

p2023-09-23T16:04:55.245+02:00] :cbwd] 2info] Starting progress 'central-rrd-master'

d2023-09-23T16:04:55.245+02:00] :cbwd] 2error] cbd instance with PID 6661 has stopped, attempt to restart it

Looks like a start loop of the service.

I’ve tried everything, to change ownership of configuration files to reinstall the whole centreon-broker package. Nothing works, i’m just stuck right now.

Does someone have already encounter this experience and might have a little hint for me ? I’m running out of ideas…

Thanks a lot !

After doing a coredump analysis on the cbwd process, it looks like it crashed at an array length, and the code 0 on the segfault error indicates a null pointer dereference.

After reinstalling the whole Centreon, i’ve found that it is due to the installation of the Datadog agent on the same host as Centreon. (It was used to monitor the Centreon host). I don’t know why it does that, but if anybody is in the same situation than me, don’t install Datadog agent on the same host.
