ArgusWriteOutSocket(0xd40bb1e0) max queue exceeded 500001

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Craig,
radium should not be having problems when one of its output queues
gets big.  It should close the connection and toss all the records.

If the argus data reader can't keep up, then radium should not keep
trying to send.

You are currently the only site that is reporting radium crashing
problems.  Make sure that you are running the latest version.
If radium is crashing, then there should be a core file somewhere
that we can look at.  When you have repeated problems with a program,
you should run it under gdb() in order to catch when it faults.

Then we can fix it.

Carter

Is it incoming flows that radium is waiting to process or are they flows that are waiting to be sent to other argus clients like rastream?
