Let me understand your situation. You have one host, IE:

1.2.3.4 <http://1.2.3.4> mybroken.host.com <http://mybroken.host.com>

ssh dns pop3 smtp http://mybrokenhost.com <http://mybrokenhost.com>

Now after some time you have ssh and dns going down, but the box is still green on conn/ping? Logically, there are two problems - bad bind and bad opensshd, so two alerts is a wise choice.

If you are saying with the example above that every test goes down because it is offline, in my case at least, it only gives me one alert

• bad conn, the rest are tagged with "depend" essentially and don't alert you. Is this not the case for you?

Hi

there are various situations where a host responds to ping but does not send any status to hobbitd :

• firewall rule modified, so no connection from a server to the hobbitd daemon allowed
• Hobbit client not run automatically after system restart
• Hobbit client stopped, hung, etc.
