Have you tried:
(as user hobbit)
~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME http"
where HOSTNAME is the name of the host you want to drop the
http test for. Found this under the 'tips and tricks' section
of the hobbit documentation drop down menu.
HTH,

Subject: [hobbit] apache perf monitoring leaves http test purple
I set up Apache performance monitoring today and it's pretty cool. apache.rrd is filling up with data, graphs are working fine and displaying in my trends page, yada yada yaday. I did run into a problem though, my http column remains purple even though I didn't configure Hobbit to monitor a specific url.
This is the entry in bb-hosts:
0.0.0.0 hostname.domain.com #
"apache=http://1.2.3.4:80/server-status?auto"; LARRD:*,vmstat:vmstat|vmstat3|vmstat4|vmstat5,apache:apache|ap
ache2|apache3
The http column remains purple, and clicking through to the status page shows a blank purple page with no data whatsoever and an empty "HTTP Response Times Last 48 Hours" graph.
What can I do to get rid of this status, w/o having to set up a http test that points to a proper website?
Tom
