Env: 4.3.0 beta3 on RHEL5

Over a 24 hour period, the xymonnet process spends about 1/3 of its time in purple status, and 2/3 in green.  This proportion holds true over a 7 day period too.  Xymongen is very similar, with ratios of about 1/4th in purple, 3/4ths in green.

When xymongen goes purple, the main web page stops updating, causing people to lose faith in the veracity of the data being reported, leading them to ignore xymon entirely. 

What log file(s) will be helpful?

Thanks!

Obviously, this should not happen.

xymonlaunch.log will tell you if tasks are taking longer than expected.

xymongen.log has error messages from xymongen.
xymonnet.log has error messages from xymonnet.

Since both xymonnet and xymongen talk to the xymond daemon, it might
also be worthwhile to look at xymond.log.

I assume all of Xymon is running on one server ? Could you try running
   xymon 127.0.0.1 "xymondboard"
and
   xymon 127.0.0.1 "ping"
and see how long those commands take ?
