Here is my validate.php, I have two other pollers as well, but I seem to be having this issue randomly on a standalone full stack as well. OS is a patched Ubuntu 22.04.
librenms@libre01:~$ ./validate.php

The issue that presents is seemingly randomly, an event will appear on a device (typically a Linux device, I havent spotted any on windows machines), where “Error polling ports module. Check log file for more details.” will appear in the event log. This seems to have been happening since around the 29th Jul on my standlone stack and I’ve only just noticed it through testing on this distributed poller stack which is still in test…
So, checking the logs/librenms.log reveals the below, it seems to be a divide by zero related issue. I thought this might have been something to do with the distributed pollers having some kind of race condition, or perhaps redis not working, but most of the time things are all good. To troubleshoot that I still observe them with one machine doing the polling (but appears to be random). Also wondering if it was corrupted RRD files, although graphs from rrdcached are all sound. I removed all devices and discovered them again, but still random poller module errors occur.
Here is a log snippet when the problem occurs, the devices which I have under monitoring test are just very basic Ubuntu virtual machines.

I’m a bit stuck for ideas apart from keeping trying to update it but its on the latest ver as far as I can see, and daily.sh runs with no problems.
Hope someone can help.
I found a similar error in the forum, but it had no replies hence my hand up for some assist.
Many thanks for reading
