Flood of events after server reboots

[Steve Nutter]

I'm at the latest revision (4.2 SP2 - Build date 4-12-2005) but I still get floods of repeat events when some servers are rebooted. I cannot tie this to any specific agent version as even servers with the 7.30 agents do this. The only way to stop the flood is restart the SIM services.

Hi Steve,

I know depending on the system, you may or may not get various alerts.

For example, when a cluster node fails I usually get 4 or 5 alerts because both nodes are reporting a problem.

Is this what you mean by flood (4 or 5) or are we talking about 10 or 20 alerts (or more)?

For example, if the server being rebooted has exceeded a disk quota set at 80% or 90%, SIM Events will continue to fill with thousands of duplicate traps for "Rising Threshold Passed" until I restart the SIM Service. Overnight what should be 3 to 10 Events, turns into 20,000 duplicates. Restarting the agents on the specific server doesn't do anything, so my thought is that this isn't an agent issue, it's a SIM server issue.
