Does anyone have a sense of what I might do to correct this? Nothing about this seems particularly wrong:

2011-12-06 16:27:11 RRD error updating /opt/xymon-4.2.3/data/rrd/<hostname>.umdnj.edu/ifstat.mac.rrd from 192.168.20.40: illegal attempt to update using time 1323206831 when last update time is 1323206831 (minimum one second step)

You are not doing anything wrong, actually. Solaris just happens to report ifstat data using the "mac" interface name multiple times. See http://lists.xymon.com/oldarchive/2009/06/msg00204.html

This change was implemented in the 4.3.x version of the Solaris client.

I will be switching to that shortly. In the meantime, what is the recommended fix -- in the link above, is #1 or #2 preferable (or does it not matter)?

Thanks. I suppose I may wait and just upgrade to 4.3.x as I will have to touch every client to fix this anyhow; probably easier to just trim the big logfile until then (disk space is how I even noticed this one).

Thanks for the quick answers!

The second one is what went into the 4.3.x Solaris client, so on the

client you can edit the ~hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-sunos.sh script

so it has

echo "[ifstat]"

/usr/bin/kstat -p -s '[or]bytes64' | egrep -v 'wrsmd|mac' | sort

It doesn't require that you upgrade the server-side of Xymon.
