Ok, that was the source of my problem. I had tried to set up unsuccessfuly a secondary hobbit server, and had given it the same configuration file as my original one. But, and there I hadn t been careful, I hadn t given the secondary server the same network rights as the original one, and therefore it reported that all hosts were down.
Thanks for the "thought" !

Just a thought - You don't, perhaps, have a second hobbit server that's perhaps not up to date in the same way? You can hit just this sort of thing a few times where tests flip flop between green and red, because the other server is sending a fail for some reason, but the server you're checking is working just fine.

I have a different & similar problem. I had a cont= test for http.
it was a bad link so the test never ever succeded. It stayed as 'red' as expected.When I change bb-alerts to email 'RECOVERED' as well, this test starts to turn red->clear (with alert email saying the same thing) at each check cycle for a test which always fails.
More annoyinyly, this stayed true even if I removed the 'RECOVERED' from hobbit-alerts.cfg, after day.

The fping file is suid as well. And since once in a while it works and manages to collect results (from hobbit), I m not sure that is the problem.

Does your hobbit user account have privileges to run fping?
You'll need to set fping to suid to make that work..

Just noticed on the bbtest page this little message :
Error output: Could not run the command 'fping -Ae' (exec failed)

Bump.
Just ran ~/BETA/server/bin$ ./bbtest-net --ping --checkresponse --debug
All the servers have green status, however often i run this command.
I m at a loss as to the nature of the problem. Stephane

Hi,
I just upgraded to RC, and noticed a very strange thing. When I use fping OR hobbitping, the connection test goes red, then green, and cycles like that for all hosts.
I made sure I had no phantom process on the machine by killing everything owned by the hobbit user, then starting the server from scratch, and all tests are fine, except for the connection test.
Any idea where that might come from ?
Thanks, Stephane
