Hello Paul,

as far as I know, Spectrum will increase the intervall of polling a device 
after a specific time. When I remeber right, this can go up till one hour.
If I am wrong, somebody will correct me :-)

Regards

Betreff: [spectrum] DEVICE HAS STOPPED RESPONDING TO POLLS alarms not clearing 
upon recovery

Were running on Spectrum 9.2 on Linux…  We are seeing a lot of devices that 
stop responding to polls and seem to get stuck in that state.  We can 
communicate to the device just fine, though.  If we select the alarm in 
Spectrum and Poll it, it returns successful, and the alarm clears a few seconds 
later.
After reading about a similar problem here on the list, we did a tcpdump on the 
Spectrum Server filtering for a host that was in this state.  After about 20 
minutes, we had captured 0 packets.  This device is set to the default 300 
second poll interval.  At this point, I manually did a “Poll” on this device, 
it returned successful and the alarm cleared.  At that time, the tcpdump 
incremented to 4 packets (an SNMP get for SysUpTime, a reply, then a second 
SNMP request for another OID I didn’t recognize, then another reply).
So, it appears that Spectrum had given up on polling this device?
