Michael,

Were you the one that couldn't traceroute to the host via the shell?

 My 'ping test completed' goes through the roof if my #trace tag is in the
monitoring field and the host is down…


It keeps trying to trace route and it times out..


Never found a fix..

Has anyone else encountered issues like this?  Has anyone else encountered
any similar issues with all the conn tests going haywire?

I figured I'd also post this information while "bumping" the email:

I've been getting a lot of these recently.  A lot of the time I'll get a
good 3/4 of the hosts I'm monitoring like this, other days it is just one or
two.  I can't seem to find any pattern to it.  I'm very confident it isn't
network related as it happens to the first entry, Hobbit server.  I just
can't imagine why it would have issues getting to 127.0.0.1!

I was also under the impression that the ping test is done every 60s or
120s so these tests just can't be true positive results.

Poking around I also found that the test to my hobbit server (this is
127.0.0.1 mind you) went up in early December.

Looking for any input at this point!
