We see this regularily with (over-) loaded hosts.
Any chance that your Solaris host is under heavy load (both network and/or system) when this happens?

Hi all
From time to time I get the "Unexpected service response" on the ssh tests of a Solaris host.
The test goes yellow, and recovers again within seconds. 10 seconds on the last example.
Because of the short duration, it's really dificult to replicate. Can anybody give me some pointers as to what's causing this?
Does xymon log the exact response somewhere?
The old Hobbit archive has a few threads with this error message, but none give me usable diagnostic information.
The error isn''t associated with any service disruption, and nobody has reported difficulty with their connections, but I would still like to get to the bottom of this, and hopefully eliminate the "problem".
Any assistance appreciated.
Regards
Vernon
