Wrong amount of memory used - memcached #127

Open RadekHavelka opened 11 years ago

RadekHavelka commented 11 years ago

Hello, i noticed this error : im using latest version of plugin agent, to monitor memcached. I have 8Gb RAM for memcached. When I use statistics with 30 minutes span, I see the graph correctly, with good amount of memcached memory use. But if I switch statistics to let say 3 hours span (in newrelic website), the amount jumps to 24Gb ! So it seems the amount of memory used is multiplied by the time span used. Thank you

the same problem is with Apache - CPU load. Normally the load is like 0.8, but with 12 hour span set it shows load of 10 :)

It's not a plugin bug but a dashboard bug. At the time of publishing, the only options available were Average Value or time based values for counters.

Edit: I opened a new ticket with NewRelic to try and get this addressed.

gmr commented 11 years ago

I received a response to the NewRelic ticket stating they have a fix that should be pushed soon. Once available, I will update all the dashboards to provide the sample value and not the average sample value.

@gmr this issue is also affecting the Redis plugin :(.. I asked the NewRelic support team for a update regarding this issue but they asked me to get back to you for an update on this issue. They also mentioned that the plugin developer should follow up this issue with them.. could you please give us some information on the status of this issue?

Looks like this is the same issue here : https://github.com/MeetMe/newrelic-plugin-agent/issues/193

I gave up, its been a year, no reason to use this as there is no support and the numbers are just nonsense.
