disabled monitors showing purple occasionally on web ui
Hi,
I've noticed this problem for a while now: Occasionally I see a host showing on the monitor page which is all purple (minus the info and trends column), and it disappears when hobbit regens the html. This host is always one which is disabled.
This doesn't generate any pages, but is definitely confusing for anyone keeping an eye on the web gui.
Has anyone else noticed this problem?
Note that I haven't applied the RC3 patch yet, so apologies if this is a resolved bug.

Just patched to RC3 yesterday and am noticing occasional purple today. I currently have 4 disabled hosts, but I can't remember if it was showing purple for all 4.
As you mentioned a page regen clears it up.

I'll look into that. The purple handling is pretty gross, because BB and Hobbit do it very differently (Hobbit handles it inside the daemon, in BB it's done by the webpage update task sending status updates).
If you click on one of these phantom purples to get the detailed status page, is that one blue or purple ? Since no page-messages are triggered, I suspect it's a problem with the way bbgen decides to go purple (so I'd expect the detailed status to be blue).

I'd suggest waiting until Sunday - RC3 was pretty bad, so I'll send out an RC4 patch during the week-end. Just to get everyone running the same baseline after all the patches that have been flying around this past week.

The status detail for all the phantom purples is blue for me.

OK, I found out why - when a host was disabled, hobbit's "valid until" timestamp for the statusreport was not being updated; so to bbgen it appeared as if the status message was no longer valid, hence it would show up purple. This would actually trigger a status update so the "valid until" timestamp was refreshed, and it would stay blue for another 30 minutes.
Cute interaction between the hobbit daemon and bbgen.
Regards, Henrik
