[Xymon] devmon mysterious behaviour

[Becker Christian]

Hello folks,

we are running a Xymon 4.3.11 environment that persists of a server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 64 Bit. This setup also includes devmon (0.3.1-beta1). In this environment, devmon works like a charm.

Now we are in the situation to go away from Red Hat Enterprise Linux and go ahead to Ubuntu 14.0.4.1 LTS 64 Bit. This is an internal decision.
On this new environment I have set up Xymon 4.3.17, including devmon, which is the same release as in our "old" environment.

But here, I have mysterious problem, for which I cannot find an explanation:
In the "old" environment, there is a Cisco 6506, that is "asked" by devmon.
For any reason, in this environment devmon doesn't get any data out of this Cisco device. It says "Missing repeater data for primary OID #######" (the "#######" is just an example....).

The mysterious thing now is, that in the "new" environment, devmon (some times...) extracts data out of this Cisco device, but -and this is the most confusing thing- every now and then it is changing from "purple" to "clear" (again saying "Missing repeater data for primary OID ####### ".), and on any time it changes back to "green" containing current data.

The devmon logfile doesn't seem to contain any hint on this situation.

I have really no idea why this could happen.

Does anybody of you have an idea about this behavior?

Greetings
Christian
