Hey,
I'll admit I haven't put a lot of legwork into this but...is it possible to configure hobbit to go red on a test after a certain number of cycles at yellow? I have some tests that I don't mind if they are yellow for small period but if they are there too long I need to know.
I could probably handle this with a script but it'd be nice if hobbit could handle it out of the box...maybe extend COLOR or DURATION...
HOST=* COLOR=3*yellow blah blah blah MAIL admin at foo.com
That would alert after it was yellow for 3 cycles...or would a DURATION alert work...hurmmmmmm...
=G=
For network tests, look for "badTEST" in the bb-hosts man page.
Thanks, Larry Barber

Looking at that in the bb-hosts manpage...
badTEST[-weekdays-starttime-endtime]:x:y:z Normally when a network test fails, the status changes to red immediately. With a "badTEST:x:y:z" tag this behaviour changes: * While "z" or more successive tests fail, the column goes RED. * While "y" or more successive tests fail, but fewer than "z", the column goes YELLOW. * While "x" or more successive tests fail, but fewer than "y", the column goes CLEAR. * While fewer than "x" successive tests fail, the column stays GREEN.
This says "when it fails"...I'm looking for "when it stays in this state"...where state is definable (maybe default is red)...

Use the "badTEST" setting in bb-hosts (see the man-page). This delays a yellow or red status from appearing until it has stayed yellow (or red) for a number of test cycles. So you could use this to suppress the yellow status until it had been yellow for some time, so when it does turn yellow you know this is something you have to handle.
Or if your custom test reported a "red" status, you could make it go yellow for the first 5 test cycles, and red after that.

Oops ... as Galen pointed out, this works for network tests only. Mental note to self: Must move that into the generic code.

Wish I could take credit for that but Larry pointed that out...it'd be great if this were in the generic code, though.
