[sysmon-help] What am I doing wrong ?

[Mark Pace Balzan]

Hi All,


Im having a hard time getting sysmon to work in a reliable fashion,
although it looks like other have had success.

Sysmon seems to be reporting a number of devices as not reachable via
ping, when they really are up. 

Ive stripped down my config to rather basic now, but still cant figure
out why this is happening.

Below is the output text file (I chose textfile output not html in the
config), as well as the relevant config file options


Hopefully someone can shed some light

Thanks

object internal {
        ip "10.0.0.215";
        type ping;
        desc "internal";
};

object srvneon {
        ip "10.0.0.212";
        type ping;
        desc "srvneon";

Same for other objects
