For reasons unknown, my http tests sometimes take a while. As a result I am getting intermittent alarms for "timeout" on the http tests...usually when it exceeds 10 seconds. Is there a way to extend the timeout period for this test?

From "man bbtest-net":

   --timeout=N
          Determines the timeout (in seconds) for each service
          that is tested. For TCP tests (those from BBNETSVCS), if
          the connection to the service does not succeed within N
          seconds, the service is reported as being down. For HTTP
          tests, this is the absolute limit for the entire request
          to the webserver (the time needed to connect to the
          server, plus the time it takes the server to respond to
          the request).  Default: 10 seconds

bbtest-net options are given in hobbitlaunch.cfg
