We did indeed lower the test interval to 1 minute. I'll try disabling the bbretest stanza and let you know how that goes.

More info: this doesn't look like its exclusive to hobbitping. I swapped hobbitping out for fping, and I'm still getting a lot of the red->green->red flapping when a host is unreachable.

Which could point again at a problem with the re-tests.

What interval do you use for the normal tests (i.e. the interval you run the [bbnet] task?) Is it the default 5 minutes, or have you lowered it ?

I'd be interested to know if disabling the [bbretest] task makes this flapping go away.

Sounds like it is the re-test thing that is broken. Do you have the [bbretest] section enabled in hobbitlaunch.cfg ?

Yep: [bbretest] ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD $BBHOME/ext/bbretest-net.sh LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-retest.log INTERVAL 1m
