Are you using a proxy server (with NTLM authentication)? dirk. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Steve Davis Sent: Fri Nov 29 10:31 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [SA-list] A failed check locks up Servers Alive Importance: High Hi, For some reason a website check that timed out last night completely locked up servers alive. Basically the web server failed, fine. Servers alive detected this in the log file but then stopped functioning. It didn't send any alerts either. It should have at least sent an SMTP message. We rebooted the web server this morning and as soon as it came up, servers alive sprung back to life.?! we're running servers alive v3.3.1132 on Windows NT 4, sp6a Why did this happen and how can I stop it? cheers Steve This is a clip from the log file (these are all private servers): 29 November 2002 03:14:00 Free space on \\lisa\d$ is : 11,754.23 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:14:06 Free space on \\marge\c$ is : 1,742.48 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:14:07 Free space on \\marge\d$ is : 9,501.67 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:14:20 Free space on \\homer\c$ is : 948.16 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:14:21 Free space on \\homer\d$ is : 12,902.37 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:14:28 Free space on \\poseidon\c$ is : 4,084.38 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:14:29 Free space on \\poseidon\d$ is : 17,120.24 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:14:29 Not checking host poseidon because of checking schedule 29 November 2002 03:14:31 Free space on \\hephaestus\c$ is : 18,066.18 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:14:32 Free space on \\hephaestus\d$ is : 19,004.25 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:14:32 Free space on \\hephaestus\e$ is : 38,255.43 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:24:35 Check cycle starts ( 1571- 1572) 29 November 2002 03:24:42 Free space on \\zeus\c$ is : 2,121.94 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:24:48 Free space on \\lisa\c$ is : 1,311.96 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:24:49 Free space on \\lisa\d$ is : 11,754.23 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:24:55 Free space on \\marge\c$ is : 1,742.48 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:24:56 Free space on \\marge\d$ is : 9,501.42 MBytes 29 November 2002 03:25:16 URL check (http://my.ebulletins.co.uk/) failed due to Timeout. 29 November 2002 08:46:55 Perfmon (\\homer\Processor(0)\% Processor Time) down 29 November 2002 08:46:56 ERR: connect to host failed: 53 29 November 2002 08:46:56 Can't do perfmon check, due to authentication problem 29 November 2002 08:46:56 Perfmon (\\homer\Processor(1)\% Processor Time) down 29 November 2002 08:46:56 ERR: connect to host failed: 53 It's usual for servers alive to fail the first round of checks after a server has been rebooted.
