Greetings all,

I've got an ongoing issue that I just can't seem to get around where hobbit is reporting http timeouts on what I know to be healthy webservers.

I've tried using badhttp in the bb_hosts file like so: 192.168.1.219 server.example.net # smtp ftp http://home.example.net badhttp:3:4:10

I though this would clear up my problem as it should tern clear after 3 failures, yellow after 4 and red only after 10, but in practice, it still is skipping all stages and going right to red on I assume the first test. The "red" condition usually lasts only between 9 and 50 seconds, so it's very difficult for me to note machine state of the server and monitor system while it's happening.

SO if anyone has a direction to point me in towards either getting badhttp to behave as I expect it or to get http monitoring to work out this intermittent error, you would be a hero to me.

Thanks

Just thought I would also like to say that occasionally we are getting the same thing but when it happens ALL our hosts go red not just a few. The all hit the default 10 sec timeout. Strange thing is we have a number of hosts also ssl enabled and those tests never seem to go red.

Hopefully theres some kind of issue here with hobbit (even though I hope theres not) but I'd like it to get resolved. Getting woken up @ 3am with your pager going off like its on crack is not friendly heh
