Can you verify this on another system?
The output looks pretty crooked, and I think there is something else wrong.
What do the following print?

netstat -in | grep '<Link>' | grep -v -E "\*|lo|pfsync|enc"
netstat -inb | grep '<Link>' | grep -v -E "\*|lo|pfsync|enc"
ifconfig

Hi Robin,

I will test it on a other machine later.

Here is the output

ntp# netstat -in | grep '<Link>' | grep -v -E "\*|lo|pfsync|enc"

Thank you

I can comfirm; on other OpenBSD 7.1, same issue…

Line 130-131 changes the IFS (Input Field Separator).
On line 131 it’s indented, remove the whitespaces so the ’ on line 131 is at the beginning of the line.
(Line numbers refer to the ones in version 2.1.0p9)

Thank you!
This was the fix for me!

You’re welcome. I also submitted the fix to the upstream repo, check_mk_agent.openbsd: Fix network parsing bug by Gnitset · Pull Request #501 · tribe29/checkmk · GitHub.
