[Xymon] [External] semaphore errors

[Rothlisberger, John R.]

I am also seeing a ton of errors in page.log that look like this:
Checking criteria for host '***.***.com', which is not yet defined; some alerts may not        immediately fire

Thanks,
John

Is there a fix for this?

We just upgraded one of our servers from Ubuntu 14.04LTS to 16.04LTS and these started showing up - and with it all clients go purple.  This seems to be happening every 30-60 minutes and the only fix is to restart the Xymon server.

Using 4.3.21.

Thanks,
John

Hi,

We are getting these errors on 2 xymon servers running 4.3.21 and 4.3.28.

Any steps I can do to debug and/or prevent this error?
The only solution is a restart of the xymon daemons.
