Okay,
 I thought my logic was broken there.

 Thanks for the reply.

 However, if the status goes red, and then during the next cycle of the

the red was sent with status+30

 Ideally the behavior I'm looking for is....

 Time		Status	
 0		Green		
 15		Red		
 30		Green	(Hobbit ignores this because it was red for only 15
minutes, not 30 minutes)
 45		Green (Hobbit changes the test status to Green now, because
it's been 30 minutes).


If it doesn't make sense, please send follow up questions so I can flesh
it
out some more.
It's just not the way Hobbit (or BB, for that matter) works. The latest
status received is always the current one - sending a status with "+30"
only indicates that an update must be received within 30 minutes. It
doesn't mean that this status is valid for 30 minutes no matter what
else is received.

From my point of view, sending a "green" for a status that is down
is broken. Either send another "red", or don't send anything at all.
