My agents are appearing up/down every 10 to 15 minutes. Sometimes every 5 minutes. Often the Recent Alerts section will indicate that they became unavailable and then available (recovery alert) in the same minute. The ones digit is always 0 or 5.
I've scoured the documentation, these forums, and google and can only guess that I'm seeing the dreaded false negative.
Condition wise, I've tried Availability = 0 with the recovery alert Availability >0, as well as = 0 / = 100. I've tried "Once every X times conditions are met within a time period of Y minutes". I've tried running the agent as root. Running the agent as the hyperic user.
NTP seems to be the most common suggestion, but that is already running and the offset is very low.
What else might be causing this endless alert spam?
