Hi,

Hi All,
Two questions:
QUESTION #1: Is it possible to have a third color alert? Meaning:
One of my customers wants a setup like this:
Custom script runs on client server, reports:
foo : 80
for example.
They want less than 85 to be green, 85-90 yellow, 90-95 red, and above 95 any color, say orange. So far as I can tell, I can only use green, yellow, and red for alerts, and blue and purple are reserved.
Currently, no. But it might help to understand why 4 alert levels are desired.
QUESTION #2:
lets say #1 above is possible, so my script sends hobbit the status line based on the it sees, with the status of green, yellow, red, and orange. The hobbit server recieves it, and uses the NCV module to build the rrd etc.. In hobbit-alerts.cfg to say does the SERVICE keyword work for custom NCV type columns?
The SERVICE tag in hobbit-alerts.cfg works for any column name, NCV or otherwise.
