<div>What is the status of the xymonnet test page for your Xymon server? (This will probably show the most recent messages from the xymonnet.log file, among other info.)</div>

xymonnet is green, nothing peculiar<br>

<p>I added a http check <a href="http://our_xymon_server/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=our_xymon_server&SERVICE=http" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">
http://our_xymon_server/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=our_xymon_server&SERVICE=http</a> for our xymon server (no certifcate, no https) and the result is interesting. It alternates between less than 1 second and timeout</p>

<div>This seems to show a failure and then 6 seconds later a success. It's like there are two xymonnet processes, one reporting a failure and the other reporting success.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can you please take a look at two status messages (click on the red/green dot) that are a few seconds apart, and for each, check the IP address in the message near the bottom that says, "Status message received from <IP>" and see if they're both the same,
and confirm that they are of the Xymon server?</div>
<div><br>

Yes, both from xymon servers IP<br>

<div>I'm not sure what's going on here. But I would try running a packet trace (eg tcpdump) and inspecting the traffic for the two connections - one that works and one that doesn't - and compare.</div>
</div>
</div>

<p>we did a (general) tcpdump but couldn't detect something. Well, noone here is specialist in this. I'll try this again more precisely.</p>
<p>I would exclude DNS as Solaris looks first in /etc/hosts before asking a nameserver and some of the adressesare included in /etc/hosts. As well, ping works fine.</p>
<p>Thank you for your help, Jeremy, I think, this is really a very special and local problem. I'll try to get our network specialists involved. It is difficult they are more than busy in times where everything happens online :-)</p>
<p>We'll use another machine for xymon and I am afraid we have to live with the fact that this machine isn't totally realiable any more,</p>
<p>cheers</p>

<div>Also perhaps try running xymonnet manually again, but many times, to see if it's an intermittent fault.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Check the execution parameters in tasks.cfg for the [xymonnet] section, and make sure you're running xymonnet with the same parameters.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The problem might also be a DNS lookup issue. Try setting "testip" for the web server in your hosts.cfg file and see if the delay goes away.</div>
