I'm running xymon 4.3.8.

 
Recently I disabled a couple of alerts via the web-page.  Two issues, first
it works for a while, but then some random and pretty short time later, the
page shows red again.

 
Also, the second or third time, I just set the alert out quite a ways, like
disable until February 2014, and I noticed xymon reports funky dates like
the one below.

 
Disabled until Tue Oct 19 07:48:44 1926

 
Is this a known bug with xymon in this verison?

 
Thanks,

We had this issue, but it dealt with us having proxy servers that also are regular servers on another port. When the primary would send out the update to the proxy, they proxy would send it back, but because there was something about the time variables being slightly incompatible.  This caused creep.

Our solution was to send to the server (not proxy) port so we didn't get the looping.

Odd, I only have a single server setup, no proxy, etc, verified date/time on
the server was sane.

I've seen that too, and I do think it's a bug, but I haven't seen it
with 2014. In our version (4.3.10 on RHEL5) the disable works up to
8404 weeks. Enter 9999 weeks,you get a date in the past

I used to run the Xymon display on IRIX and found that even 999 weeks
was too far in the future and would roll over. I'm guessing this is
less a bug and more an operating system limitation (though this should
probably behave by setting it as late as possible, not by rolling over
- -- maybe that's not possible).

But I'm only going out about 52 weeks or so, basically a year.  Its
frustrating because at most after a day or so, the device is back to being
enabled...
