Hello,

On URL's, is there a way to say, turn them Yellow

instead of Red?

We have several development URL's and we want to

monitor them, but don't want Hobbit showing them

as Red, instead we'd like them to show Yellow.

Is this possible?

You can always roll your own. I do that a lot... :) Something along the lines of:

curl -o page.html http://server.domain.com X=grep -ic "Some Content" page.html if [ "$X" -gt "0" ]; then COLOR=green else COLOR=yellow fi /home/hobbit/server/bin/bb 0.0.0.0 "status server,domain,com.home $COLOR date"

You'll probably want a bit more fluff in that, such as some kind of meaningful message in the last line, and I usually include an href to the original URL so the monitoring guys can just click through it. You can also add a link to "page.html" if you store it somewhere in your server DocumentRoot, but that can get complicated if it contains relative urls.

I'm sure a Perl guru could give you something simpler, but I never did get the hang of perl.
