I've found that some of the directives in hobbit-alerts have to be in some sort of order. I have had to play with the order of the directives until they were all recognized by hobbit on several occasions. I don't know if this is documented or not, but I find that putting the DURATION> directly after the e-mail address tends to work best.
FYI COLOR seems to work best when it is last...
MAIL mymail at domain.com DURATION>5 RECOVERED REPEAT=120 COLOR=red,purple

Wondering if anything else has seen this problem. The people who receive
the alerts are complaining they get too many. What they should is fix their problems but...
Setting DURATION>5 also seems to be ignored. So short of increasing bbnet-test --timeout to a longer period can anything else be done ?

Just chiming in here: I seem to have the same problem with badhttp. I cannot get Hobbit to *not* go red on a single http failure. This will frequently trigger an alert due to a timeout, but a manual check will see nothing wrong...

Is it me, or does badntp in the bb-hosts file not work?
I seem to have the same problem with badhttp. badconn seems to do its just but badhttp seems to be ignored.
I have several servers running NTP, and they occasionally (several times a
day) will lose their sync for a few minutes while they switch between
higher
stratum servers. It would be nice if hobbit wouldn't change to a "red" state.
I have several 'flaky' web servers and I don't want to hear about them
unless they are really having a problem.
