False Errors from LibreNMS for WS-8-250

Do any of you run LibreNMS to monitor your networks, and if so, do you receive a disporportionaly high number of alerts from LibreNMS claiming your Netonix devices are down? I have it monitoring all these devices on my network, and have noticed that it really seems to like to pick on the Netonix switches. (They aren't having any issues at all when LibreNMS generates these alerts.) To my knowledge I've received no false alerts from any of the other devices on my metwork.

I'm mainly hoping to see if this is unique to my configuration or if I have something that I could change in the LibreNMS configuration that someone else may have already discovered.

Thanks
Sam

There have been reports from a few people that Netonix switches stop responding to SNMP monitoring then start responding after a period of time.

Right now Eric is working on finishing up v1.3.7 so we can push it out. After that we have requested that Eric set up some SNMP monitoring software and let it run for extended periods to monitor our switches and verify that everything is working fine.

If there is an issue we will fix it and release a v1.3.8 with a fix.

I am not saying we have an issue but several people have reported a similar event so we want to investigate this.

Thanks for the update Chris. I'd much rather see Eric doing what he's doing than to chase down these bogus alerts.

Thanks for your excellent support!
