[sysmon-help] What am I doing wrong ?

[Mark Pace Balzan]

Great - thanks.

Let me know what you need from me to help track this down.


>From further tests I did to try and narrow it down, I setup two config
files each with just two objects.

I never get false failures when only two (or more for that matter) ping
objects exist in the config file, but when one of the objects uses TCP,
then the ping object fails randomly.


=============================
root = "sysmon-host";

object sysmon-host {
        ip "212.56.128.215";
        type ping;
        desc "sysmon-host";
};

object internal {
        ip "212.56.128.222";
        type ping;
        dep "sysmon-host";
        desc "int-ping";
};

Text Output:

root = "sysmon-host";

object sysmon-host {
        ip "212.56.128.215";
        type ping;
        desc "sysmon-host";
};

object mx01 {
        ip "212.56.128.205";
        type smtp;
        port 25;
        desc "mx01";
        dep "sysmon-host";
};
