[Xymon] Ack not working properly Xymon 4.3.0.0 beta2 - upgrade?

[Novosielski, Ryan]

The upgrade script did a very good job, in my experience (I upgraded from 4.2.3 so the name change and upgrade together was harder). Just keep a backup and practice if need be.

Thanks Ryan.

I have researched and it might not be too much of an issue to upgrade but seems I will have to get past the tricky step of 4.3.0.0 beta2 upwards which involves some Hobbit->Xymon name changing in various files.  Perhaps not so tricky. I'll keep reading up.  Will have to upgrade.

All I can offer is that upgrades are relatively easy, if you're using RPM's there is almost certainly a newer RPM out there, and that I've never had problems with acknowledgement really -- my first 4.3 was I think 4.3.7.

Hello,

Acks are not working for me, typically when Ack'ing 2 of the same things in a short space of time. But also randomly, Acking stops working.

I have the 'cookie not found, dropping ack' appearing in hobbitd.log but I am not sure if this is a result of the Ack module 'crashing' or a direct cause.  I did see some older messages about this and mention of a fix but I combed through all the release notes for all versions and patches since 4.3.0 beta 3 until now.

Note I am using an older version of Xymon, 4.3.0.0 beta2 and I was wondering if upgrading would fix this. I have never upgraded Xymon before and I am not sure if it's an easy task or not.

My fix has been to restart hobbit.sh but this is removing some acks so it's no longer an option as we have now moved into intensive Ack usage.

thanks
