repeated purple to blue transistions for disabled, offline servers
I've got 2 servers offline at the moment and I'm using the disabled function to prevent them from alerting/paging. What is confusing to me is the way that my hobbit front page and the individual monitored parameters for the system keep transitioning between purple and blue. Shouldn't they all just stay blue until the disabled period ends?

Did you disable them via the enable/disable webpage, or are they "disabled" via a DOWNTIME definition in the bb-hosts file ?
The behaviour you see sounds wrong, no doubt about that. I just want to be sure where I should start looking.

I think I'm on to this. Could you check if these blue-purple-blue transisions also show up on the history web page ? My suspicion is that they do not appear there.

You are correct, they do not.

I think this patch should solve it.

Looks good so far. The main & sub pages are now green, and the alerts for each parameter are blue. I'll keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't happen again.
