Error in NewRelic log file “warning: dstat(/dev/vzfs) failed - desk metrics not reported this cycle”

Question

I'm getting an error in my nrsysmond.log file like this:

warning: dstat(/dev/vzfs) failed - desk metrics not reported this cycle

I've set the php.ini file's newrelic.loglevel to verbosedebug, warning, and debug but get the same error.

Does anybody know what would cause this? NewRelic still hasn't been able to collect any data from my application yet.

Answer 1

I'd definitely contact New Relic support. Cool that we're collecting "desk" metrics in addition to "disk" metrics. Our team will need to improve our spelling I guess.

Answer 2

If you run cloudlinux check this out and do as it says:

http://docs.cloudlinux.com/index.html?hybrid_kernel.html

Newrelic user cant read the /pro/"pid" directories due to cloudlinux kernel.
