DFM Server Error Message

christop — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:22:50 GMT

Can someone help me understand the meaning of this error message from the watchdog log?

Oct 15 14:13:45 [dfmwatchdog:ERROR]: socket() failed, error = 10055
Oct 15 14:14:08 [dfmwatchdog:ERROR]: dfmserver (pid 5320) died (15 Oct 14:14)

Is this the cause of the dfmserver process failure, or should I look elsewhere for a cause?

Hi,

Not necessarily, dfmserver could be down because of some other reasons.

Thanks,

Santosh

Oct 15 14:13:45 [dfmwatchdog:ERROR]: socket() failed, error = 10055

---This is a socket error 10055 indicating No buffer space available.

Oct 15 14:14:08 [dfmwatchdog:ERROR]: dfmserver (pid 5320) died (15 Oct 14:14)

---this seems to be an error reported by monitor process indicating dfmserver process is not up and running. The same can be checked by executing "dfm service list" which leads to

"server: not started".

Is this the cause of the dfmserver process failure, or should I look elsewhere for a cause?

---Seems like you have shortage of resources, more logs from dfmwatchdog.log will be helpful. Space might be one of the issues in here...

Lack of buffer space may include factors like,

1. number of programs running simultaneously

2. the amount of physical memory available

3. the size of the paging file and the amount of disk space available.

Resolution:

Try closing any unneeded programs that may be running or restart the computer to free up system resources.

Then start the dfmserver [dfm service start server].

Hopefully this should work...

Thanks,
