Don't know if this helps any, but I added the --debug flag to my bbnet-test command for a single polling period, and got many lines similar to this in my bb-network.log:

2005-04-06 15:49:54 No test for badtest spec host=foo-host, test=conn:1:1:2

I found where this error is getting thrown in bbtest-net.c (789); it looks like the conn test isnt defined in the swalk linked list. Its been about 10 years since I've done any real C coding, but I'll let you know if I can backtrace it any futher.

Hi again Henrik; are you tired of hearing from me yet?

Something that I noticed a few days ago but forgot to bring up until now: All of the hosts in our bb-hosts file are defined in a similar fashion to this:

1.1.1.1 hostname # badconn:1:1:2

However, any host that we monitor that fails a single ping test immediately goes red. I went so far as to change them all to "badconn:100:200:300", with no result. Any idea whats going on?

Thanks! -Eric Schwimmer Network Engineer UVA HSCS Network Engineering
