Any chance the kernel or related components have been updated since the last previous reboot and/or since the Xymon build, and that this reboot loaded the changes?
Not a bad question, but no. There have been no changes in the kernel or OS for a little while now. In fact I am hoping to have a chance to do an update in about two weeks.
The system did reboot unexpectedly, though. I wouldn't have expected that to have an effect. What do you think?
I tried a "controlled" restate just now via shutdown -r now. After giving the systema few minutes to talk to itself, it is still reporting strangely high numbers.
Would it make sense to pkg_delete the Xymon daemon on the observed host and reinstall it? Or could that make things worse?
Thanks, Jaime
