I have a Rush in a mixed Linux/Windows deployment. When viewing rushtop,
random Linux boxes disappear and then reappear ever minute or so while the
Windows boxes are always there. To complicate things, the Windows boxes are
on one VLAN and the Linux boxes are on another while my monitoring stations
are on yet a third VLAN. Anyone else have these issues?
Sounds like the linux machines are under heavy enough load doing rendering
that they're not able to respond quickly enough to show up in rushtop.
Either that or the network is maxed out to the point that some packets
are being dropped.
I'd ignore it unless it's very persistent.
Check the rushd.logs for errors about dropped packets or unreachable
errors, as that might be an indication a switch or router isn't working
correctly. You might also check the network stats (ie. netstat -i)
on the linux machines to see if there's any RX/TX errors, eg:
[erco@ontario] ## ROOT ## 645 # netstat -i
Kernel Interface table
Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg
eth1 1500 0 12604410 0 0 0 8546173 0 0 0 BMRU
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
..those should all be zero if things are going perfectly well.
Similarly, check for problems on the interfaces that 'rushtop'
is running interactively on.
Probably not very many people are using rush over a VLAN, so it's
possible the VLAN is a bottleneck.. again, check for network errors
at the VLAN endpoints.
