Hi, yes.

I've seen the same. Some system were lost. For me not only systems
connected through a proxy were lost, but also systems directly
connected. This happened over the time for single systems. No traces in
logs, no user activity that could explain it.
With the last occurrence I lost 5 registered systems in one night. They
were still there at 23:00 when the daily config compare task was
running. Later they were gone without traces.
