CMK version: Checkmk Raw Edition 2.2.0p27
OS version: Docker
Error message: Total virtual memory: 23.37% - 178 GiB of 763 GiB, Hardware Corrupted: <0.01% - 8.00 KiB of 755 GiB RAM (warn/crit at 1 B/1 B used)CRIT, 8 additional details available
I was curious to where checkmk is pulling info from for hardware related errors? On this particular Proxmox server there are no memory hardware issues shown in the IPMI interface. So where is checkmk getting this data?
don’t have the answer but I have never seen this before
I also had this mention on a proxmox server regarding ‘hardware corruption’ - on a HP DL360Gen7
The longer it lasted the more the percentage went up.
A reboot of the box solved it for a short time, but it always came back eventually.
In the end the specific server was replaced (End of life) for a HP DL360Gen9, and the error never came back, so i never really ‘solved it’.
It was also mentioned in another thread here: How to clear "Hardware corrupted memory" alert? (unix memory service check)
They didn’t say if it was a Proxmox server though. But they did also mention that their server admin couldn’t see any errors in the IPMI.
We made it easy for ourselves and raised the threshold
