The level of false positives due to formatting errors has remained relatively consistent, and tends to be limited to the PROCS (Win, Linux) and SVCS (Win only) tests, but occasionally will see the same error occurring on the DISK and CPU tests, although that is significantly less frequent, and is not across all configured machines. The PROCS/SVCS tests are showing random errors on one machine or another approximately every 5 minutes.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks<br>Greg.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 6:52 PM, J.C.

</div></div>Hi Greg,<br>
<br>
Is there anything unusual about the process names on the lines immediately<br>
before the corruption? There's a known issue in that lines starting with a<br>
bracket will cause missing data, and this can happen more frequently on<br>
Windows servers just by virtue of some of the data that's coming across,<br>
but that doesn't appear to be causing this specific issue.<br>
<br>
<br>
Can you confirm which version of Xymon server you're using? Do you see the<br>
same corruption in the "raw" Client Data for the affected servers, or is<br>
it only occurring on the status pages?<br>
<br>
Also -- anything unusual in the log files? Has this problem been constant<br>
since it started, or is it getting worse? Does restarting the xymon<br>
service fix it (temporarily)?<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
-jc<br>
