Re: {bb} False ping alarms in V1.13a

Yes I have seen this behaviour too.
I never managed to find out where it came from though and when I moved my
test version of BB to a faster machine it went away - it could be a
performance thing, it could be anything really.

It only happened on one host though. The BBDISPLAY doing the ping was an
x86 P200 running Redhat 5.2 (Apollo) trying to ping a Sun Solaris 2.6
machine. The load avg on the BBDISPLAY was 86, on the Solaris it was 3.

I could find no other connection. Maybe a heavily stressed BBDISPLAY causes
this?

Subject:  {bb} False ping alarms in V1.13a


I am getting false ping yellow alerts from one of my machines.  It is an
Axis cdrom server.  I get a yellow alert saying that the ping succeeded
on the second try.  What is weird is that every other pass through
bb-network the alert alternates between green and yellow.  Here is the
connection history from the machine:

DATE                     STATUS SECONDS
Thu Feb 24 13:19:55 2000 GREEN  749
Thu Feb 24 13:08:01 2000 YELLOW 714
Thu Feb 24 12:56:22 2000 GREEN  699
Thu Feb 24 12:44:20 2000 YELLOW 722
Thu Feb 24 12:21:12 2000 GREEN  1388
...
...

BTW: What does the seconds indicate?  Seconds between event change?

I pinged the maching myself for long periods and never lost a packet.  I
modified bb-network.sh to save the tmp/BBPING output so I could look for
a failed attempt. I never found a failed ping attempt for this
machine.   I had the same behavior under v1.08.

Has anyone else seen this type of problem?
