Suppress Connection Warnings from the Agent in /var/adm/messages|
In some Linux / Unix / Solaris configurations, you may notice that the up.time agent is repeatedly logging connection warnings in the /var/adm/messages log. This is usually normal behaviour as xinetd/inetd is set up to log any connections from it's services by default.
In the case of the up.time agent, this practice can result in very large log files, as every time the Monitoring Station polls the agent or runs a Service Monitor, the connection will be logged. If you want to disable this logging for the up.time agent service, there are a couple of different approaches to take. The option to use depends on the platform's OS, and how it's xinetd/inetd/syslogd settings are configured. So please make sure you are using the appropriate option for your environment.
