Flapping Status??? Unkown IP
list Clayton Lowther
Keep getting systems in the red... On the status page it even shows an IP address that is not used on my network???
here is a copy of the page...
any Ideas?
The 198.105 address is not even part of my network... I use all 192.168.1.* address and that is not the address of the device being monitored either!
*WARNING: Flapping status*
Sun Nov 6 16:03:11 2016 conn NOT ok
Service conn on Access-Point is not OK : Host does not respond to ping
System unreachable for 4 poll periods (905 seconds)
red 198.105.244.11 is unreachable

Found my problem... was having a moment... In the Hosts.cfg file I had used Fake Names for the systems and it was trying to use DNS to resolve them... adding testip fixed the problem.... What is the proper way of not Using the hostname? So that it shows a custom name of the webpage instead of the actual hostname? Clayton
David Boyer <mailto:user-a6c09f28d9d2@xymon.invalid> Sunday, November 06, 2016 10:20 AM Add a testip to the line in hosts.cfg to remove DNS from the picture. If it stays green, you know where the problem is. Dave Clayton Lowther <mailto:user-6913124ec1fe@xymon.invalid> Sunday, November 06, 2016 10:16 AM

Even I can answer this one - use the NAME in the host.cfg entry, eg: 1.2.3.4 dnsname.com # NAME:"Alternate Name" test1 test2
