Weird alert behaviour

Hi folks,

I have a UAT server running 5.8.7.0P on Solaris, with 4 test sites.

Here’s something weird I just came across while troubleshooting a weirder host server issue. 😛

On all 4 sites, I don’t have any alerts configured.

But, in the hcimonitord log for all 4 sites, I see the below (which weird cos the alert file is empty). What gives?

[cmd :cmd :INFO/0:_hcimonitord_:04/07/2015 21:40:25] Received command: ‘summary’ on connection 0x849518
