Consider the below. Approx. 25 minutes ago, across all monitored
systems, all net monitored services - ssh, ldaps and dns - went to
purple. They are still up, running, and just fine in every respect.
The status message is even the same as when it was showing green. But
now every ssh, ldaps and dns light is purple.
The last thing i was messing with when this happened was the alerts config file; i hadn't touched bb-hosts. cpu, disk, memory etc. all remain green.
I cannot find anything in the logs that indicated what changed 25
minutes ago. I have restarted the hobbitd. Something like this seemed
to happen yesterday; after a number of monitored services were green and
unchanging for a while, they went purple, yet report as "OK" across the
board. While tweaking other settings, everything went back to normal.
I don't understand what could call this, or why it's displaying the
purple light when it "knows" it's fine.
Any ideas?
