I do much the same thing, although I had to fiddle it a bit to exclude a certain report type. A while ago, a server here started to send out errors from: Fault class : defect.sunos.eft.undiagnosable_problem The guys on the fault-discuss list have been unable to enlighten me as to the problem, and I'm ashamed to say I have not taken any steps. Except to replace the entire machine, I have no idea what to try. I just wanted to note that although the fault detection is very good, it isn't always possible to work out what the fault really is.
