I was going to ask about this today as well.

I brought this up about a week ago.  Hobbit is supposed to have a 10
minute delay on setting stuff purple on server startup, but that wasn't
working.

Any update on this?  We have over 3000 hosts monitored, so this is a HUGE
amount of emails that get generated for us. Like 20-30 thousand. :)

I have a hobbitd server that monitor several other servers (hosts)

hobbitd ------- server0
        |------ server1
	|------ server2
	|------ ...
	'------ serverN

I had an issue with the hobbit server switch and its lost conn with all
'serverN' but not with 'localhost'.  As soon as switch restore
connection I receive e-mail alarms for all monitors.

What is the proper way to avoid alarms when hobbitd lost all remote
conns? (and not with localhost)
(two hobbitd servers?)
("router" or "depends" tags?)

Thank you
Rodolfo Pilas
