I have xymon 4.2.3 server running on solaris 10. This is a new xymon install and I have been setting up the initial alerts and changing hobbit-clients.cfg and hobbit-alerts.cfg. Alerts are generally working as I intended. However, at some point, I also began getting the following alert:
Hobbit [398021] xymon:hobbitd_alert stopped reporting (PURPLE)
red - Program crashed
Fatal signal caught!
The hobbitd_alert process continues to run (see below) and alerts continue to be generated. I have backed out almost all my changes to hobbit-alerts.cfg so it is "bare bones". The crashes continue. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? I would enable debugging per the hobbitd_alert MAN page if I could determine how to do that.
thanks in advance,
Bill
