2015-05-18 10:23:55 Stale alert for xxx:cpu dropped
2015-05-18 10:23:55 Stale alert for xxx:procs dropped
2015-05-18 10:23:55 Stale alert for xxx:msgs dropped
2015-05-18 10:23:55 Stale alert for xxx:files dropped
What means this Stale alert? Why this happens and how to avoid this
messages?
Bruno,
A Stale is an alert that was occurring when xymond_alert last saved it's
snapshot but is no longer in an alerting state when it was started back
up.
This could be because it recovered while xymond was stopped, or the host
itself is no longer in the configuration.
