Hi
i've just install pandora 4.1 version to try it.
I have exported a lot of network agents from my pandora 4.0.2 version and import it the new version, i set up all my alerts and now i have a little problem that i don't understand.
Sometimes in the Monitoring > Group view panel all my network agents become unknowns without a real reason.
After some minute they return to the real status.
I attach some pics for explain the (visual) problem

thanks

Hi

Have you check your network server lag?

It's possible that you need up the server threads, to reduce network server lag.

I attach the server lag panel

this is my pandora_server.conf network threads: configuration

# Network threads: Do not set too high (~40). Each threads make a network module check.

network_threads 15

10 hours? :0

This lag is excessive and the number of threads too if you haven't a powerfull computer.

I think that you need to down the number of thread or check if you have setting in pandora_server.conf a high network_timeout or icmp_checks, tcp_checks or snmp_check > 1.

this is my pandora_server.conf

i have 1061 monitor check in a 2 cpu server with 6 GB RAM

....
# Network timeout (in seconds) for timeout in network connections for Network agents

network_timeout 10

server_threshold 1

# Network threads: Do not set too high (~40). Each threads make a network module check.

network_threads 15

# that ping should be 1 to report 1

ok, you have 1061 network modules.

icmp_checks 5
tcp_checks 3
snmp_checks 2

Assuming that 1/2 of these modules are icmp, 530 x 5 = 2650
1/4 are tcp = 265 x 3 = 795
and 1/4 are snmp =  265 x 2 = 530
Total (Real)---- 3975 Network Modules

You need to down the number of these checks because your system is full.  You can't have this lag on your network server...
Other solution is upload interval of these modules...

Network timeout 2 is recommended

Hi Mario, i've tried your suggestions and had correct the pandora_server value
Now my Lag is 1 sec but i have the same problem!
