Subject: AW: [hobbit] Use hobbit in operation center with critcal systems view

Special Case missed or belated Messages by Operation
Center; Now some
application/scripts sends Alerts to the Console View and
the Operation Center make an alert call for each event.
A problem in Hobbit/BB is when changes happen in red
messages, the Operation Center didnt realize that until the > > acknowledge time runs out and they make the alert call again.
This can happen for example in the disk status test (a
second filesystem goes red) or with nested Tests/Logfiles. > > With the Event Console they get two messages (each for one > > Filesystem).

Sounds promising; how it works exactly ?

If the alert is already red, how you can send a new alert ?
I create a new red to red event. Soo i have ever time a new event if number alert change.
This procedure have I in one software that was either modification the BB.
I am working to try to adapt it to the Hobbit now
