I see this again and again-systems that I "disable" because I am working on them "stay" in a disabled (blue) state, even after I enable them. Any ideas..? Is there a way to 'clear' the disabled (blue) state?
The only time I see this happen is when the client isn't running. The blue state won't change until it gets a status update for each service. You've verified this? Maybe try manually sending a new status to the display server with the ./bb command?
Well ... what color should it be if not blue ?
If I've disabled a system for 14 days, it is not correct to make the status go back to whatever it was two weeks ago. It could go purple (indicating the current data is stale), but that would easily trigger lots of bogus alerts from the time you enable a system until the status messages do get updated (typically a 5 minute interval).
So it stays blue, until it gets a genuine status update. A simple solution with a well-defined result.
