90.0. "Status daemon not showing down hubs" by GUCCI::DMCCLOUD (Dennis McCloud - SOA ANC) Mon Nov 30 1992 13:31

    I just returned from a customer site where we installed HUBwatch for
    MSU and have problems with the status polling daemon.  The customer
    configuration is ~20 DEChubs and 5 agents with ~4 communities per agent.
    
    S/W versions are MSU V1.1, HUBwatch V1.0, WGBV29.
    
    The DH90_hub_statusd successfully shows status on a single community
    agent but does not show status correctly on the 2-4 communities.  In
    MSU I setup multiple icons for the different HUBs and set the community
    string to match the second, third, and fourth communities using the
    address of the agent.  The DEChub90 group is used.
    
    The symptoms are as follows:
    
    1) If all HUBs are up and available when the DH90_hub_statusd is
       started then all icons are notes as UP (Green). OK.
    
    2) If a HUB other than the one with the agent is down when
       DH90_hub_statusd is started it show up as being NOT POLLED (Black)
       instead of what you would expect NO RESPONSE (Brown). OK
    
    3) If the HUB with the agent is disconnected then all icons show
       NO RESPONSE (Brown).  OK.
    
    4) If a HUB other that the one with the agent is unplugged the
       status stays UP (Green) and does not change to NO RESPONSE (Brown)
       as expected. NOT OK.
    
    The customer would really like to see a status change on a HUB when
    it goes down.
    
    Any Suggestions?
    
    Thanks,
