Title: Malformed resource for/ malformed property for
Post by: laschmoove on December 18, 2009, 03:53:04 PM

Hi everybody,

we have a worker that displays as green and running in the host/worker tab, but does not really jump on a frame.

In the output pane we get  Malformed resource for/ malformed property for marked in red.

Does anybody have an idea what that means?

Best regards,
B.

Does it still appear when you restart the GUI?

If so, can you post the output from the command-line utility 'qbhosts'?  It's located in the bin/ directory of your qube installation.

Hi jburk,

sorry for replying that late.

Yes, it still appears after restarting the gui. When I switch to the Host/Worker Layout and press F5 I get:

Code: [Select]

Updated 320 jobs in cache.
QbServerRequest('jobinfo', -1, 'reload') retrieved.
QbServerRequest('hostinfo', '', 'reload') retrieved.
malformed resource for
malformed property for

Here is what qbhosts gives me. Looks quite normal to me:

Does that help you?

Sorry, my fault (again). I just realized the 0.0.0.0 worker in the list.
Removed it manually and the error message is gone.

Thanks for helping,
B.

I've seen these (hosts with MAC addresses all 0's) at other sites before, including one that I worked at.  I was never able to catch the event that was causing them to be created, so I've never been able to figure out how to prevent it.

I suppose Qube could just refuse to create a worker with a MAC of all 0's, since it's obviously an invalid address.

In our case it might have been home made and caused by an invalid DNS/DHCP Server configuration. But yes, it would be nice if qube would reject these entries.

Best,
B.

I've added it as a a feature request.  Hopefully it'll make it into our next point release, 5.5-2, but maybe not until after that.
