RC5 is unfortunatly still causing random "x stopped reporting" errors. I just got 20 mails similar to this one:
Subject: BB [431703] mydomain.int:imap stopped reporting to BB Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 22:02:52 +0000 (GMT)
green Mon Mar 7 21:32:41 2005 imap ok
Service imap on mydomain.int is OK (up)
- OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2004 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information.
- BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down ABC123 OK LOGOUT completed
Seconds: 0.01
This is for the IMAP server on the same box as the monitor so there could be no network or connection issues. Anyone any ideas of anything else to try?
A good side is that it is happening less frequently.

One other thing I did think of is that I set my monitor period to be 30 mins, could that have anything to do with it, something to do with the time to live and the refresh period being the same?

I've just put rc4 on so I'll see if anything does get fixed
Do pickup the post-RC4 patch, it has the final fix for the green mails. http://www.hswn.dk/beta/post-RC4.patch
two questions though, first why would things stop reporting?
Most common cause: The server was rebooted, and the client was not setup to restart automatically after a boot. None of the boxes get rebooted, they are all live servers running 24/7, two with ISPs and one my own which I know the uptime of.
I'm monitoring 3 different boxes, one local, 2 remote on different hosts, what constitutes "stopping reporting"?
A status in Hobbit (and BB) has a lifetime - default is 30 minutes. Normally a status is refreshed every 5 minutes, so it stays "alive". If Hobbit sees that a status has not been updated for so long that its lifetime has been exceeded, it goes into the "stopped reporting" (purple) state.
I've never seen anything actually go purple when the mails were sent out but I don't watch it all the time so it could have done.
The other is why are some of my green entries smilies and others diamonds?
Smilies mean the color has changed within the past 24 hours.
ok sounds reasonable that if it sends out the mails then it is because it thinks the status has changed.
I was going to report that RC4 had fixed it as I'd had no mails but then I got this:
- Program crashed
Fatal signal caught!
on the hobbit-alert monitor so I guess that may be why I hadn't got any.
I'll put the other patch on and see what happens.
