<div>Hi Jeremy,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thanks for pointing that out.</div>
<div>After some initial testing, it seems like it's indeed due to the checkpoint interval, which is 600 seconds in the local configuration.<br/>
Sending USR1 to xymond before restarting makes disabling/dropping tests "survive" the restart in every case.</div>
<div>Still curious why this happens just now after upgrading the OS from Debian wheezy to jessie with otherwise same configuration...</div>
<div><br/>
Kind regards,</div>
<div>Sven</div>

<div>Make sure xymond can (and does) update it's checkpoint file. See the man page for more info about the checkpoint file.

<div>Hello everybody,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>recently I've been seeing a strange issue on xymon server. When I make a check blue and shortly after xymon gets restarted due to configuration updates, that blue check will be green again afterwards. The same thing happens when a check is dropped and xymon gets restarted directly after that: the dropped check reappears.</div>
<div>If you wait some amount of time before restarting, say 5-10 minutes, the problem won't appear and everything will be fine. I also sync'ed on the server directly after making a check blue and before restarting (to avoid data not being written to disk for some strange reason), which unfortunately did not help.</div>
<div>Environment is xymon 4.3.27 on Debian jessie. Xymon has been updated to 4.3.28 because of this problem lately, with the problem appearing in 4.3.28, too. This server has just been upgraded from Debian wheezy to Jessie a few weeks ago. On wheezy xymon 4.3.27 was in use but didn't show this behaviour.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Did anybody notice such an odd behaviour or maybe have any thoughts regarding possible causes?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance,</div>
<div>Sven</div>
