[hobbit] Another odd-ball question -- can I get alerts when a dial-up device connects?
That wont work as clear isn't a state to recover from, only purple, yellow and red I believe. Not sure if this could be changed in the source somewhere?

Can you make them "dialup" and then configure an alert for a "recover" message? Then change them to normal?

The problem I've got is that we configure the access points here, then ship them to the remote sites for install. They're down until the guys at the remote site get around to unpacking them, renting a scissor lift, and installing them up in the rafters. Once they're plugged in, they're live and a connectivity failure is a problem. I need to see them go green when they get plugged in and change the config so we'll be notified on an outage.
And it looks like my idea of the NK page won't work, either. Back to the drawing board.

Use the DOWNTIME tag for this. This preventes the alert from being generated but you still trend the conn access.

I've currently configured them as 'dialup', so we don't get pestered by alerts. But I'd like to know when they actually get installed, so I can drop the 'dialup' tag. Is there a way to do it?
We don't currently use the 'NK' pages -- I'm tempted to put these devices, with the 'conn' test, on the NK page and just check it from time to time. Is there a better way?

I never tried this, but how about a '!conn' or '!ping' test? Goes red when the network connection succeeds (i.e. first system connect), then you can take action and set it back to normal...

You don't need to change the source, just the OKCOLORS and ALERTCOLORS in hobbitserver.cfg.
Thanks, Larry Barber
