[xymon] Solaris msgs alert not clearing

I'm not sure what you mean by "adding the mark".

Thanks, Larry Barber

I had gone around adding the mark to the system loggers. It'd be good to have a better way, but that's the way that one had available when speaking of Big Brother.

Yes, I think that is exactly what's happening, but my understanding of how msgs alerts work is that they are supposed to last for 1/2 hour (by default) then go away. Having these alerts hang around for hours is _not_ helpful, if nothing else they mask any new problem messages.

Hi,

This is just a wag hunch, I have not looked into this to verify so
please take with a grain of salt.

If you are speaking of alerts from /var/adm/messages or such, is it
possible that the event is one of the last things appearing in the
logs (has not been overshadowed in the log with new activity), so
it's still in the last 10240 range?

Subject: [xymon] Solaris msgs alert not clearing

I'm having a problem with a Solaris client. A msgs alert was
triggered over 2 hours ago, and it still has not cleared, even
though no new alert-worthy messages have appeared in the message
log. Has anybody else seen this behavior? I'm running a 4.2.0
server, I'm not sure what the version of the client is since I don't
have access to the box involved (Henrik, it might be a good idea to
include the Hobbit client version in the client data).

Thanks,
Larry Barber
