Hello...
Our Xymon server (4.3.3) is getting swamped and we're trying to figure out where the pain is coming from. One thing we've observed is in the "xymond" page for the Xymon server itself, there is a *very* long listing of hosts/tests under the section titled "Multi-source statuses".
Could someone tell me exactly what this section reports and what would be likely causes for entries in this section. Does inclusion in this listing imply duplicate status data is being sent to the Xymon server from these clients?
The large majority of entries cite both the host in question and a corresponding "vlan" we've set up (i.e. an alternate network route using an alternate interface) on these multi-homed clients. If I'm understanding these tests as reporting statuses over both routes, to the server, don't see that could be possible... ??
Example of what we're seeing:
