On 2026-10-17 the NFS under Postgres stalled for ~15 minutes. Two things
went wrong for the readings that would have explained it:
- The SNMP poll stored before it polled again, so while the database hung
it stopped polling. It now collects on schedule and hands each round to a
Holding (steward/core/holding.py): one writer stores what is held, oldest
first, each reading at the time it was collected. Bounded at two hours of
polls, with a 30-minute deadline on a store; the device list read falls
back to the last one read after 10 s.
- "Mount not answering" (10 checks in a row) went pending on Docker02 and
Docker03 and never fired: the agent sent each post's backlog with its
newest, healthy sample, and that sample ended every post's run. Agent
1.22.0 queues the new sample behind the backlog, so Steward receives a
host's samples in the order they were taken.
