I have a branch on my network that returns about 85% of pings(don't ask). Is there someway I can tune fping(or ping) to try more than 1 time before setting the conn to red and notifiying people? It would be nice if it could send a couple of pings and only care that at least one ICMP echo gets back.
Thanks, Joe Kezar
Look for the "badconn" entry in the bb-hosts man page.
Thanks, Larry Barber

The FPINGCMD setting is used to define the exact "fping" command that Hobbit runs. So you can add any options you like for fping to that setting in hobbitserver.cfg, to make it try harder to reach a host.

On my hobbit web display I have these errors that cause it to turn red.
PING 159.105.x.x (159.105.x.x) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- 159.105.x.x ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms
Did I somehow build hobbit without fping? and it is falling back on ping?

Looks like the output from the old Big Brother network test. Check if you still have one of those around, reporting data into Hobbit.
(No, Hobbit doesn't fall back to using ping).
