[xymon] Solaris msgs alert not clearing

[Tim McCloskey]

Hi, 

This is just a wag hunch, I have not looked into this to verify so please take with a grain of salt.

If you are speaking of alerts from /var/adm/messages or such, is it possible that the event is one of the last things appearing in the logs (has not been overshadowed in the log with new activity), so it's still in the last 10240 range?

Tim

Subject: [xymon] Solaris msgs alert not clearing

I'm having a problem with a Solaris client. A msgs alert was triggered over 2 hours ago, and it still has not cleared, even though no new alert-worthy messages have appeared in the message log. Has anybody else seen this behavior? I'm running a 4.2.0 server, I'm not sure what the version of the client is since I don't have access to the box involved (Henrik, it might be a good idea to include the Hobbit client version in the client data).

Thanks,
Larry Barber
