[Xymon] more problems with acks/Cookies in 4.3

[Clark, Sean]

I had an issue with xymon not acknowledging events in the xymondboard in version 4.2.3

This has continued in 4.3.0

I run

~xymon/server/bin/xymon --debug --response 10.10.8.180 "xymondack 212940 500 this is a test ack"
22832 2011-04-01 11:01:36 Transport setup is:
22832 2011-04-01 11:01:36 xymondportnumber = 1984
22832 2011-04-01 11:01:36 xymonproxyhost = NONE
22832 2011-04-01 11:01:36 xymonproxyport = 0
22832 2011-04-01 11:01:36 Recipient listed as '10.10.8.180'
22832 2011-04-01 11:01:36 Standard protocol on port 1984
22832 2011-04-01 11:01:36 Will connect to address 10.10.8.180 port 1984
22832 2011-04-01 11:01:36 Connect status is 0
22832 2011-04-01 11:01:36 Sent 39 bytes
22832 2011-04-01 11:01:36 Closing connection



In xymond.log I get

2011-04-01 11:01:36 Cookie 212940 not found, dropping ack



Xymondlog shows

~xymon/server/bin/xymon 10.10.8.180 "xymondlog db-03.subdomain.domain.com.ipmi"
db-03.subdomain.domain.com|ipmi|red||1301336915|1301670417|1301672217|0|0|10.10.8.134|212940|||N|

unified-ipmi.pl version - 1.0


Which shows the Cookie right in there


I am stumped, what could be causing this?

This is repeatable in that it happens for several hosts in xymon – but not the same host/test pair consistently, and I can acknowledge other things while it is not finding this cookie. Additionally, putting in in maintenance for 1 minute will allow it to be acknowledged after it comes out of maintenance , because it will get a new cookie.
