I have a server, installed from CactiEZ and a bit of update (CentOS 4.3->4.6, fresh Apache, fresh NAGIOS, etc).
At this server working Cacti (with DB at another server) and NAGIOS.
All worked fine until this friday.
Suddenly at weekend, load average up to 250 (from normal 1-2), and "ps -ax" show me a lot of processes like that:
Code:
23354 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23355 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23356 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23357 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23358 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23359 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23360 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23361 ?        R      3:44 /usr/local/spine/spine 76 97
23362 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23363 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23364 ?        R      3:52 /usr/local/spine/spine 98 117
23365 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23366 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23367 ?        R      0:02 /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/html/plugins/syslog/syslog_process.php
23368 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23369 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23370 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23371 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23372 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23373 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23374 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23375 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23376 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23377 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23378 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23379 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23380 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23381 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23382 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23383 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>
23384 ?        Z      0:00 [php] <defunct>

After I killed all php processes, they again come in two hours. =(
There are now graphs in this period, off cause.
I don't understand what happens and what should I do to fix.. =(
I don't change anything at this week.
