I've seen this behavior when a test system was reporting to the server
using the same hostname as a production system.

Notice the timestamp on the files; 16:39& 16:40, 16:44 & 16:45...

System 'a' reports at "Thu_Apr_9_16:44:14", followed a minute later when

System 'b' reports at "Thu_Apr_9_16:45:09"


Check the procs web page for the system; just above the graph, it states
what client IP reported the message:
	Status message received from 172.28.60.11
See if this changes when the screen flips color
