Look in your xymond test on your server. I?d bet that you are getting oversized messages coming in from that host, and so processes is getting truncated.
Or look at processes for that host. And you will see that the process table isn?t complete.
Ultimately, you?ll need to increase messages in your configuration file.

My xymon system has been running well for years and it just started showing a red alarm on one of my host's processes list. It claims that there are 0 (zero) instances of every process it is checking for, but I can still ssh over to that host and see the processes in a ps command.
I'm honestly at a loss. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this. Any advice?
