That third hop is denying ICMP echoes to you.  Is it a router of your own or
is it outside your network?  If you'd be willing to share that destination
with us at least I would be willing to traceroute it from my location to
help see if it is an issue at your end or not.

Its weird,  from the shell#. I can trace route to the host if its up in 3
HOPS. But if the host is offline, it does 2 HOPS and then 28 more blank
lines of stars. Not sure why it doesn't just time out after 3 HOPS, it takes
a couple minutes to time out.


That's what my problem is, so I removed the trace option to my hosts. Any
help would be great…


Thanks, michael

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!
