I am getting a yellow alert on my Xymon server under 'BBTEST':

strange results

Here is a 'grep' of bb-hosts:

                [root at monitorp etc]# grep -i cswflex4 bb-hosts

0.0.0.0         cswflex4.csw.L-3com.com

128.170.31.14   cswflex4.csw.L-3com.com         # conn

0.0.0.0 cswflex4.csw.l-3com.com

0.0.0.0 cswflex4.csw.l-3com.com

[root at monitorp etc]#

 

 

I cannot find a second entry with an IP address.

I have hundreds of other servers with 0.0.0.0 entries so I cannot figure
out what is happening?

 

Running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.5 on Dell R-610.

I tried to do a 'drop hostname', could there be a duplicate in the Xymon
data base?

If so, how do you remove the bad one so you don't loose the history
being gathered by the client on the Windows server.

The client is the big brother client.

 

Thanks,
