Hi,
If I add this entry, in hobbit-alerts.cfg
IGNORE SERVICE=msgs
all alerts stop. I just want the alerts for SERVICE=disk,conn,cpu not event messages
Thanks

Hello,
I have a problem with my hobbit server, when ever a ping monitored host goes down, the bbtest column goes yellow on my hobbit server. I think it is because of the ping tests taking forever... but how can I fix this?

Michael,
Take a look at this...
DNS statistics:
hostnames resolved : 302
succesful : 5
failed : 297
calls to dnsresolve : 306
Your hosts are failing to resolve. Do you have records for all of your hosts? If you're not expecting to resolve the names, then just add testip to the end of the hosts' lines.

My suggestions:
[1] a. Try fping instead of the regular ping. And set the concurrency to an acceptable level. [1] b. You may also want to shorten the timeout period, if you prefer to use ping instead.
[2] Also, you have failed DNS lookups on several hosts. For faster performance, try adding the "--dns=ip" option to bbtest-net. NOTE: Use this if DNS entries for hosts do not matter much.
