<p class="MsoNormal">Hello folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">we are running a Xymon 4.3.11 environment that persists of a server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 64 Bit. This setup also includes devmon (0.3.1-beta1). In this environment, devmon works like a charm.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Now we are in the situation to go away from Red Hat Enterprise Linux and go ahead to Ubuntu 14.0.4.1 LTS 64 Bit. This is an internal decision.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">On this new environment I have set up Xymon 4.3.17, including devmon, which is the same release as in our “old” environment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">But here, I have mysterious problem, for which I cannot find an explanation:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In the “old” environment, there is a Cisco 6506, that is “asked” by devmon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For any reason, in this environment devmon doesn’t get any data out of this Cisco device. It says “Missing repeater data for primary OID #######“ (the “#######” is just an example….).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The mysterious thing now is, that in the “new” environment, devmon (some times…) extracts data out of this Cisco device, but -and this is the most confusing thing- every now and then it is changing from “purple” to “clear”
(again saying “Missing repeater data for primary OID ####### “.), and on any time it changes back to “green” containing current data.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The devmon logfile doesn’t seem to contain any hint on this situation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I have really no idea why this could happen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Does anybody of you have an idea about this behavior?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
