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 :-)

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? * --To unsubscribe from spectrum, send email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe spectrum [email protected] --- To unsubscribe from spectrum, send email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe spectrum [email protected]
