What resources are you going to save? I think Henrik already takes some evasive action in the standard Hobbit. If you start down this path you will end up with a big maintenance burden, simply to save on pings...or are you trying to disable some expensive tests?

I guess you can code a disable/enable script, to be called by

hobbit-alerts.cfg's SCRIPT directive for that particular router. I am not aware of such built-in functions, admitt that I am just a few months old on Hobbit Monitor.

	Hi,
	 
	I used the dependencies feature in bb-hosts to avoid

many red systems behind a failing router which is really extremely useful. However, I'd like to go a step further - to save resources I'd like stop all tests for systems behind a failing router. Is there a way to achieve this? regards alfred
