MLM's send status events when they are restarted. Can you send me a sample of
the
up events ytou are seeing?
Netmon looks for these traps and updates status (if required). Normally these
MLM
traps are not logged. You can go into xnmtrap, select the Enterprise for the
MLM
trap, and then look at the specific trap. See if the trap is set to log only,
or to
don't log. It can be changed to don't log. Netmon will still see the trap and
do
the right thing.
