Yes, the alert history shows it went yellow and then 5 minutes later
recovered. The web page is showing everything correct. However, when
I check the notifications.log file, I can see that it was still
sending alerts about it being yellow, even though it was definitely
green.

Click on it the host's test and click on history - was red at all?
Are the WWW pages updating? Look in the top right corner of the page once
you click on the host's test link.

I noticed this morning that our Hobbit server was sending out alerts
for the process check for a machine that was actually shown as green
on the hobbit web page. I checked on the monitored machine, and the
alert was indeed green, yet the server was still sending out emails as
though it were in a yellow state. I restarted the Hobbit client on
the monitored machine, and then restarted the Hobbit server on the
server. After doing this, I noticed the following in the page.log
file:
2007-11-14 10:26:13 Stale alert for host-name:procs dropped
(I changed the actual host name to "host-name" to protect the innocent)
What exactly does this mean? Before I restarted the Hobbit server
process, I manually edited the alert.chk temp file and removed the
erroneous alert, but that didn't correct the problem. It was only
after I restarted the Hobbit server process that it cleared the alert.
Is this a bug in the 4.2.0 code, or is there something else going on
here?
