Re: cmd.php running out of memory

I had a similar issue. My poller_output table in the cacti database had 
grown to be huge (like, hundreds of thousands of records), due to a custom 
script that got out of control. Truncating that table and rerunning poller 
seemed to do the trick for me

[cacti-user] cmd.php running out of memory

Hi,
        I'm using cacti 0.8.6j with mostly default settings(using 
cmd.php). I have found that cmd.php seems to be running out of memory.
I found the following webpage (http://cacti.net/cactid_info.php) and did 
as suggested and poller.php returns with a time of about 426seconds and 
usually runs out of memory.

Out of memory (Needed 3600324 bytes)
12/03/2007 12:20:50 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:585.1627 Method:cmd.php 
Processes:1 Threads:N/A Hosts:37 HostsPerProcess:37 DataSources:1041 
RRDsProcessed:3038

I am running on RHEL5 - kernel 2.6.18-53 - php 5.1.6 - 2GB of RAM.

A top while "php poller.php" is running usually looks like this:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+ 
COMMAND 
26047 root      15   0 1171m 1.8g 5464 S         8      87.0 
0:16.38             php

Anyone experience anything like this??? I've had this same setup working 
before.
