I was thinking of monitoring employee laptops, and maybe even desktops, with hobbit. I added a group to my hosts file with the DIAL tag, created a line in the hosts file 0.0.0.0 mylaptop.mydomain.local # noping. I then installed a client on the laptop and just set it to monitor the basics (CPU, Disk, Memory). I then shut down the laptop and took it home. Thirty minutes later I checked my hobbit pages from my home desktop and saw that the status of the client was set to purple. I obviously misunderstood the functionality of the DIALUP tag. Is it possible to monitor a device that would only check in a couple of times a day? I know I could set specific alerts thresholds for the laptop, but was hoping there might be a "universal" solution.
Thanks
