If it matters, we're running this in redhat Enterprise.

It seems that when the server starts back up after a reboot, it goes, "My god! I have not seen an update for all 4000+ hosts in over an hour! I should send out purple alerts so that the admin can look into this!"
So the issue is the duration of the Hobbit server downtime. If it's down too long, in its mind, it has not received an update in a very long time, so it sends purple messages for everything it owns. so, is there nothing I can do about this? I thought I read at one point that there was a way to tell the server, "Don't send any alerts within 10 minutes of server startup", or something like that.
It's built into Hobbit that it won't change a status to purple for the first 10 minutes after it starts up. That should give everything time to refresh before the purple storm hits.
So what you're saying is that this doesn't work - I'll have to try and re-create this here.
