This reminds me of an opposite problem we've been seeing. We have a Windows
box we're monitoring
which is almost always in the non-green alerts because the CONN check
flutters between green/red. The
cycles are always short, sometimes a few minutes but often just a matter of
seconds between the reported
failure and recovery. The last was 10 seconds between reported problem and
recovery.

Since that's even quicker than the system checks its status I'm sure the
problems are false but I'm not sure
why that system, and only that system, is reporting bogus problems.

It's not a critical issue, it happens so fast that it seldom shows up on
the main page. But it does clutter the
non-green report when we just want to see if the systems have been healthy
overnight. Benign annoyance.

So now it's mostly a curiosity. Has anyone else seen a system report
flapping like this?

Try:

That’s working on mine.  May need to change the path to fit your
installation.

In analysis.cfg


HOST=*


        PROC sshd

        PROC sssd


Xymon reports this

But I can clearly see both the prosses are present in the server


Thanks

If you want any help with that you’re going to need to share the relevant

Hi Guys


I am monitoring sshd and sssd procs, somehow xymon is falsely reporting
them

It says process missing but both processes are up in the host
