[Xymon] FW: Troubleshooting Purple CONN and HTTP Tests in Xymon 4.3.10

Update to this. While googling further, I saw a thread titled "[hobbit] stale alerts".  This mentioned that there could be an external script that I created which may cause issues for xymon when it runs.  I do have a diskstat.sh script that may be causing problems. For now, I'm setting it to DISABLED in the tasks.cfg file.

Is there a way to see log information in xymon to try and verify something like this?

Thanks

Subject: Troubleshooting Purple CONN and HTTP Tests in Xymon 4.3.10

Hi folks.  We've been running xymon for about 10 months now. It's been fine all this time.

However last week around Wednesday we started getting purple storms on the CONN and HTTP tests for all our hosts.
I stop Xymon and restart it, or reboot the server (Linux 5.x) and then it comes back ok.
This also happened Thursday, and then again Saturday around 2PM cst.

Anyone have a link or source for which logs to look in on the server or xymon to see what may be causing the CONN and HTTP tests to randomly start failing like this or where to start troubleshooting?

Can I use xymonlaunch —debug like this to see what is happening?
        /usr/lib64/xymon/server/bin/xymonlaunch --debug --config=/usr/lib64/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg --env=/usr/lib64/etc/xymonserver.cfg



While searching the xymon forum and message boards, I saw some things that say it may be disk space or inodes, but it seems like we are ok there -
df -i
Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda2            3899392  204731 3694661    6% /
tmpfs                 490139       6  490133    1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1              32768      51   32717    1% /boot

df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             61312028   5748784  52448700  10% /
tmpfs                  1960556       188   1960368   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1               516040     87716    402112  18% /boot

DNS also seems fine.

Thanks
