I fear I might have done something awful... I was looking to upgrade our hobbit to the latest snapshot but when I trying to access http://aixmgmt01/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=aixmgmt01&SERVICE=disk which is one of our service monitors I am not getting a menu at the top of the page. However I am getting a link bb_footer written at the bottom of the web page. Any ideas? James Roberts

bbtest yellow - PING test results sent unacceptably high
by john＠sackheads.org 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

bbtest has been yellow for the last week. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea what might be causing this? I'm using hobbitping. I've tried bumping concurrency up with no luck... but given that the increase in time is in "PING test results sent", I'm not sure that's the right move.
