I don't have a good reason, but I've experienced similar problems. Try lengthening your global poll interval from 30 sec to 1 minute. See what happens.

Earlier this week our Server Group created a dual processor, 4Gb of RAM on a 64 bit Windows 2008 R2 Server for us to install InterMapper on. Our legacy InterMapper configuration was running on a single CPU, 2Gb of RAM on 32 bit RedHat Linux installation. The two VMs are in the same VM cluster, using the same Vswitch and network addressing. Earlier this week I installed InterMapper 5.5.3 on the Windows server and copied over the data from the Linux server. During the file copying, the InterMapper services on both systems was shut down. To get the maps, I had to copy the contents of the Maps/5.4 directory into the Maps/5.5 directory on the Windows server. Things looked good with the exception that the Windows Server had a different address than the production version for obvious reasons, but a number of our devices are configured to only respond to queries from the production address. Today, we shutdown the InterMapper services on both systems, performed a final data copy, and the contents of the Maps/5.4 directory was copied into the Maps/5.5 on the Windows Server. The Linux server was shutdown, and the Windows server was reconfigured with the production IP address to take over. Everything appears normal with one exception. Of the nearly 1,500 devices we are monitoring, numerous devices are being reported by InterMapper as having Short Term Packet Loss of 3% to 6% on average. Some devices are being reported as being down when in fact they are available and accessible. After checking settings, the performance of the network and server in VMWare, the server, and other network tools, we see no obvious reasons for InterMapper to be reporting these conditions. Disabling the Windows Firewall does not make any improvements. Any ideas on why we are seeing such a difference in behaviour? Thank you.
