Only when the IP for a monitored device has been “taken over” by a different device that accepts the same SNMP credentials.

e.g. when swapping in replacement devices

e.g. in your network outage situation the KVM VS may have wound up on the same IP somehow (DHCP, SLAAC or something else)

So, weird thing happened today …

We had a network outage that lasted for maybe 45 minutes that kept Observium from monitoring one site. When Observium resumed its normal monitoring activities, it somehow added a whole bunch of inventory items for a Cisco router to a KVM virtual server. About 10 minutes ago, it deleted all of the Cisco items, and is now back to normal.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Does anyone know what might have caused this?
