I installed RC5 on a new server today after running RC3 for several weeks without a problem. Initially RC5 picked up right away and was fine. After about an hour I now get purple on all conn, ssh, http and bdb items for every server monitored (including the hobbit server) on the main page. Each sub page I go to shows a purple background, but OK on each test.
This is a new install, I wiped the RC3 server, installed an OS upgrade (formatted everything) and reinstalled RC5 as new, using only the old bb-hosts file.
Any hints on what this could be ?

Sounds like the network tests stopped running. Could you check in the /var/log/hobbit/bb-network.log file if there are any messages about what happened ?
Also, just to be certain, see if there is a section in hobbitlaunch.cfg to actually run the "bbtest-net" command. Upgrading Hobbit does update the hobbitlaunch.cfg file, and it just might be that somehow it stripped a section out of the file. (It shouldn't, but you know how things can be buggy :-))

I found the problem. I did a minor edit to the bb-hosts file and in the process changed, on one line "http://xxxxx" to "http//xxxxx" This caused the purple condition as the bb-network core dumped and didn't succeed in any further tests. Correcting the entry solved the problem.
Thanks for the help. Hobbit has proven it's worth to us.

Good! ... and bad because I need to take a look at bbtest-net and figure out why it breaks on that URL. But that should be fairly simple to test.
