We have a Solaris 8 system that is fairly well patched running Big Brother 1.9i. It has been running just fine for years. For some reason we have not received a single yellow notification since October 29th, around 8pm.
Since then we have had many services/tests go into and out of a yellow condition, but no alerts are generated. I mean, Big Brother doesn't even try. No errors or logged, but nothing shows up in the notifications log and no messages are received.
The yellow states show up properly on the web display. They are noticed and processed by Big Brother. It simply doesn't seem to be deciding to send messages like it used to.
Red and purple states are still processes exactly as they were before, so there's no problem there. I pulled the entire tree off tape from the day before and two weeks before messages stoped coming through. There have been no configuration changes in that time. I don't mean no relevant changes, I mean no changes. All files identical.
I have even tried shuting down the server, wiping out bbvar and starting over from scratch, wiping out everything in the server's tmp directory, and restarting. Still nothing.
Is anybody else having this problem or is it only me?
