Hello,
I have expanded the number of clients to test with xymon putting some internet-vpn-router of our company.
Now I have the problem, that the conn tests very often failing on some hosts, generating a lot of alert e-mails.
But if I use a terminal on the xymon server and ping the clients "manually" there is no timeout.
I wonder why xymon is detecting a timeout for this hosts. The xymon server is a vmware virtual machine with
ubuntu 12.04 LTS server on an esx 5.0.0 latest patches.
This morning I've update xymon from 4.3.10 to 4.3.17 and updated the vmware-tools on that machine, but the
problem still remains. What happend to that?
Thanks.

How many times did you test it manually? And how often does it fail in Xymon for each host being tested? Does the graph on the "conn" page show any pattern in the failures?
The main thing here is to determine if the ping failures are due to a comms outage or a failure within the probe (ie, inside the monitoring server or outside it).
Perhaps you could do a packet capture of ICMP packets long enough to include a failure and then check if a packet was sent and received.
