Odd Error re: multiple simultaneous updates 🔗 link

Does anyone have a sense of what I might do to correct this? Nothing
about this seems particularly wrong:

2011-12-06 16:27:11 RRD error updating
/opt/xymon-4.2.3/data/rrd/<hostname>.umdnj.edu/ifstat.mac.rrd from
192.168.20.40: illegal attempt to update using time 1323206831 when last
update time is 1323206831 (minimum one second step)

<hostname> can be apparently any one of my machines running Solaris 10
from the looks of it.

Thanks for any tips.

This change was implemented in the 4.3.x version of the Solaris client.

It doesn't require that you upgrade the server-side of Xymon.

Thanks. I suppose I may wait and just upgrade to 4.3.x as I will have to touch every client to fix this anyhow; probably easier to just trim the big logfile until then (disk space is how I even noticed this one).

Thanks for the quick answers!

The second one is what went into the 4.3.x Solaris client, so on the 

client you can edit the ~hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-sunos.sh script
