AppScale

terminate-instances kills tcpdump

Asked by David Shifflett

I am using Appscale 1.5 on a Debian 6.0.3 XEN system.

During testing I noticed that running appscale-terminate-instances
kills tcpdump sessions.

I have traced this to appscale/AppController/terminate.rb

Why is 'tcpdump' in the list of processes that are 'force killed'?

I've removed it from the list now - we had it in there before because we used to use tcpdump to gather information about the network traffic coming/going to each node (and then display that on the status page on the AppLoadBalancer). But we stopped doing that a while ago and I forgot to remove this pkill - good catch!
