We are running Xymon on a Sun Fire v100 with Solaris 10 installed. On several Oracle systems with Oracle VM (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)) with 64 bit we are running Hobbit clients (FC5-hobbit-client-4.2.0-1.i386.rpm). The hobbit clients are 32 bit because those are the only wants we could find.
Problem: sometimes several tests like procs/disk/cpu is giving weird values in the monitoring which makes Xymon red. However, everything is fine and after restarting the client or after next update (5 minutes default), Xymon becomes green again.
You don't mention what version of Xymon you are running on the Xymon server, but I'll assume it is one of the 4.2.x releases.
There is a known bug in the Xymon 4.2.x server that causes this behaviour. It is solved in the current 4.3.0 test-versions (the latest being the 4.3.0-RC1 that was made available a few days ago). It is a server-side problem, nothing to do with your Xymon clients.
