Hi,

I got a weird problem on a ping test.

Indeed, i got a simple definition in bb-hosts file:

10.204.32.41 plmfwl01 # DESCR:"Poalim,v1:PG,AA01,10" DEVMON

When i ping it from Hobbit server, it works:

ping 10.204.32.41

PING 10.204.32.41 (10.204.32.41) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.204.32.41: icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=6.18 ms 64 bytes from 10.204.32.41: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=8.87 ms 64 bytes from 10.204.32.41: icmp_seq=2 ttl=254 time=8.38 ms 64 bytes from 10.204.32.41: icmp_seq=3 ttl=254 time=8.15 ms

But i got a ping alarm:

Tue Apr 7 16:57:42 2009 ping NOT ok

Service ping on plmfwl01 is not OK : Host does not respond to ping

System unreachable for 89 poll periods (21293 seconds)

red 10.204.32.41 is unreachable

Status unchanged in 5 hours, 56 minutes

I checked that the status is sent from this hobbit server and it's the case.

I'm using fping in hobbit config but it works too from shell:

fping 10.204.32.41

10.204.32.41 is alive

The others devices are pinging correctly, i got only 2 ip in this case.

What's going on ?
