Health monitor broken for debian 5 x86

Hello,

On both 10.0.0 and 10.0.1 the Health monitor plugin will mess up your plesk installation.
The package sw-rrdtool is broken for Debian 5 x86, dpkg cannot unpack it and will fail.
Had to restore 2 servers from backup to get them back online again.

Hopefully paralells will fix the package ASAP.

Just a heads up...

Will update this post with the log files later.

Found the logs in another post, same issue and it seems it's also failing with the x64 version... :

Package is indeed broken.
I have tried to install Health Monitor but it screwed my plesk installation up.

apt-get -f install returns :

Unstable

From what I read the package is still in unstable/testing phase
Don't really understand why they added it to the 'production' package.
Fine for beta testers but it cost me afew hours to get 2 servers back online after it screwed up my plesk installation...
 
This broken package is still on the depository.
Could you please contact the devs and let them know about that (critical) issue?
 
I need rrdtool for munin, I can't remove it without breaking it.
Munin is used on my server by the customers (displays nice stuff on charts!)

Any other workarround?
 
Your system rrdtool will be replaced with our sw-rrdtool. It is the same rrdtool but with newer version.
Just create symlinks for

/usr/bin/sw-rrdcached
/usr/bin/sw-rrdtool
/usr/bin/sw-rrdupdate

to

/usr/bin/rrdcached
/usr/bin/rrdtool
/usr/bin/rrdupdate
 
Hello,
Thanks again for your answer.

I only have to create these three symlinks?
for example : ln -s /usr/bin/rrdcached /usr/bin/sw-rrdcached

Is this going to let me install health monitor?
Could you describe the different steps?
 
Yes, you are correct.
Just remove rrdtool, install health monitor and create symlinks.
 
Hello,

I managed to install health monitor by uninstalling rrdtool (and munin).
How can I install munin without rrdtool. "Apt-get install munin" won't let me install it without rrdtool (which can't be installed : conflict with sw-rrdtool).

There is a nonsense here: why would plesk use a different package for the same thing, or at least which uses the same file location?
 
How can you install munin without its dependencies?
Munin won't install without rrdtool. Apt-get will unpack it, but won't install it.

dpkg -l munin returns
iU munin 1.2.6-10~lenny network-wide graphing framework
 
As you wrote before you can't install HM due to rrdtool dependences. I have suggested to remove it. I thought that you have already installed munin there. Now you can remove HM, return original rrdtool back, install munin, remove rrdtool and install HM with symlinking.
 
I have deinstall the rrdtool and the sw-rrdtool and sw-librrd. Then i install the sw packages (sw-rrdtool, sw-librrd, psa-health-monitor) new. I use webmin with the Webminstats.
I change the configuration from webminstats to use the sw-rrdtool. Then webminstats work fine. Then the psa-health-monitor don´t work correctly.

I have download the debian rrdtool.deb from the Debian site. I use the midnight commander and copy the files inside the rrdtool.deb in the correct locations by hand. I change the config in webminstats to use the debian rrdtool. Now all works fine.

May, the munin work with the same way? Install munin and rrdtool. Deinstall the rrdtool incl. the sw-rrdtool, sw-librrd, psa-health-monitor. Then install sw-rrdtool, sw-librrd, psa-health-monitor. Copy the debian rrdtool by hand with the midnight commander by my way.

Test it, good luck
