RTM_Inventory::getHost messages in VNM.OUT

Products

Issue/Introduction

Are these messages we repeatedly see in VNM.OUT something we should worry about?

ERROR TRACE at RTM_Inventory.cc(824): RTM_Inventory::getHost using mh=0x 471b43

ERROR TRACE at RTM_Inventory.cc(833): RTM_Inventory::getHost calling hosttable get mh=0x 471b43

 

Environment

Release : 20.2

Component : Spectrum Core / SpectroSERVER

Cause

These messages, despite the ERROR word, are not a problem by itself.
They need to be reviewed in its context.

For instance, when rtm_debug is set to yes in $SPECROOT/SS/.vnmrc, messages like next will be logged, and they are basically just debug logs

Resolution

You can remove the below line from the $SPECROOT/SS/.vnmrc file, and restart the spectroSERVER, and that should take care of the messages.

rtm_debug=yes
