5.0.5.1 NPE in logs on startup but no apparent effect

Support

I’ve just installed 5.0.5.1 on a Centos 6 Linux machine; it seems to work fine but I see this early in the logs just after startup, immediately before the This copy of Stardog is licensed to... message:

Exception in thread "Stardog-Linux-Memory-Monitor" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at com.complexible.stardog.api.LinuxMemoryMonitor.checkAndReport(LinuxMemoryMonitor.java:98)
	at com.complexible.stardog.api.LinuxMemoryMonitor.run(LinuxMemoryMonitor.java:84)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

Anything to be concerned about?

Hi Conrad,

This is nothing to be concerned about. The Linux memory monitor will not function but it will not change the behavior of Stardog. If possible, can you send the contents of /proc/meminfo on your system?

Best,

Jess

Thanks Jess; contents of /proc/meminfo below. FWIW, I installed to a different box running Centos 7 and don’t see that exception in the logs.

Ok, it looks like we’re assuming MemAvailable to be present which was introduced in Linux 3.14. Centos 6 looks to be using Linux 2.6. I’ll make sure we handle this gracefully. Thanks.
