The only time I have seen this is due to delays in DNS caused event flows to 
slow down significantly. I have about 20+ rulesets and I think that makes the 
situation worse not better. See if you can find something in DNS that "hangs" 
and causes very slow/no response.

Subject: [nv-l] Ruleset Lag Time


NetView 6.0.3 AIX 4.3.3


I have about 14 different rulsets starting in ESE.automation. I have been
running this configuration for almost 3 years. In several of these rulesets
I have timers that hold a node down event for 15 minutes and send it if the
node up doesn't come before the timer expires. It was recently brought to my
attention that we are getting events quite some time after the actual event
occurs. Here is an example:

In the trapd.log I see that hostx had a Node Down event at 20:35:06 and the
Node Up event is 21:25:43

In my ruleset I am grabbing the node down event and holding it for 15
minutes and then issuing a logger -p command to send the trap attributes to
the syslog daemon.

In the syslog the timestamp of the node down event is 23:44:28 and the node
up is 00:30:21

I have been checking other events in other rulesets as well and I have seen
similar symptoms but the time lag seems to vary. Can the daemons get that
far behind?

Has anyone seen this sort of behavior happen before?
