Wan gw monitor

[maverick_slo]

Hi.
Since last release I get in gw monitoring both ipv4 and ipv6 as offline with packet loss 22% for ipv4 and 33% for ipv6. Values are not changibg at all.
In status monitoring graph is all ok, correct ping, no packet loss and net is working as well...
Any idea?
Thanks.

I see few commits for dpinger in last day or two so probably something is borked because of that...

Yesterdays changes to update gateway monitoring added some gateway alarm state caching files of alarm states, which are now getting stuck and never cleared once an interface / gateway recovers from an alarm / down condition.

I'm seeing this as interfaces that experience and alarm / down state getting stuck and never updating once the link recovers and will just keep showing the same info from the last alarm / down.

found that if the cached state files are deleted the gateways immediately recover back to online.

Need to delete the /tmp/.alarm.* & /tmp/.down.* files.

Had to setup a quick script and cron job to clear these files periodically to make sure my OpenVPN links state up.

Here's quick code to remove the files:

for _f_ in alarm down; do ls /tmp/.${_f_}.* 2>/dev/null && rm /tmp/.${_f_}.*; done
