I want to make sure I understand how the badTEST directive in the bb-host file works.
If I have something like this:
10.10.10.10 foobar # !telnet ssh noconn badssh:1:1:2
I read the documentation to work like this:
Interval 1--------------Interval 2 -------------Interval 3 00:00 00:05 00:10 0 minutes 5 minutes 5 minutes Success Failure Failure Green Yellow Red
At 00:00 an ssh test is done and is successful. The next polling interval is at 00:05 and the 10 second time-out is hit and the ssh test fails. Due to the badssh directive the test will turn yellow in Hobbit. The next polling cycle is at 00:10 and the 10 second time-out is reached for the ssh test and this time a RED alert is generated because it is the second failure (referred to as the z variable in the documentation).
Is this understanding correct? Are network tests only done once?
Thanks in advance, Jim
