Windows_Sytem agent crashes after running for 5 minutes. Windows System agent starts and then stops after running for a short time.
FMS 5.5.8, Fglam 5.5.4.2, OS Cartridge 5.5.4
We did not see any type of errors or warns in either the Windows_System Agent log or the Fglam log in debug mode. The agent would just start, start collecting, then 5 minutes later would stop.
Resolution was that we noticed the Windows_System agent Properties ('Edit Properties' in Agent Status dashborad) - the NT_SampleFreq_List - all the collections had been changed from their defaults to collect at 60 seconds.
We set all the collections back to the out-of-the-box collection frequencies. The agent then started up and kept running. We suspect that the agent was "running into itself" - that is, a set of collections would start, and before they were finished, the same set of collections would try starting again in 60 seconds - this was causing the agent to crash.
Here are the default collection frequency settings for the Windows_System agent (version OS Cart 5.5.4 and previous):
System_Table - 300
Top_CPU_Table - 300
Top_IO_Table - 300
Top_MEM_Table - 300
Logical_Disk_Table - 300
Physical_Disk_Table - 300
FileSys_Table - 1800
FileSrvr_Table - 1800
Network_Interface_Table - 300
TCPConnections_Table - 300
EventLog - 300
Server_Table - 300
Processor_Table - 300
Services_Table - 300
