Hi all,
Any idea what the Bogus/Timeouts message means in the incoming messages section of the xymond column means?
Timeouts, yes sure that makes sense, but the word Bogus? Is this indicating that the timeout alerts I have started receiving the past few weeks for a specific server are actually a false positive?
Any thoughts would be great
I believe this is a counter of Xymon protocol messages that had unrecognised commands, or the connection timed out before a command was received. Default timeout is apparently 10 seconds.
The following two commands would increment this counter, the first with a timeout, and the second with a bogus command:
sleep 11 | telnet xymonservername 1984
xymon xymonservername BOGUS
