Hi,

during the last month our Xymon server (Debian package from backports 4.3.0~beta2.dfsg-5~bpo50+1.1) reports false alarms from time to time.

The alarm page always shows a couple of ] inserted into the clients output: ... Mon Jan 10]15:00:07 CET 2011 - Filesystems NOT ok

red 16% / (54448692% used) has reached the PANIC level (90%) red 0% /lib/init/rw (1742112% used) has reached the PANIC level (90%) red 8% /dev (9496% used) has reached the PANIC level (90%) red 0% /dev/shm (1742112% used) has reached the PANIC level (90%)

In contrast to this the client data file looks fine: ... [who] [df] Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/sda2 68025748 10121476 54448692 16% / tmpfs 1742112 0 1742112 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10240 744 9496 8% /dev tmpfs 1742112 0 1742112 0% /dev/shm [mount] ...

I've seen that a couple of Xymon users reported similar errors from time to time. However I didn't find a solution. We already tried to increase the data/message size, but this didn't solve the problem.
