Hi,
 This is probably a dumb question, but how does hobbit server show alert if the hobbitlaunch process has died or become hung.  I killed it as a test, and it doesnt seem to get data until hobbitlaunch is restarted.  I would imagine that the hobbit server would need to interogate the client periodically beyond ping to ensure the main client deamon is running ok.
 Any help appreciated. thx.  This is my first time using this type of tool, and it look great overall.

The hobbit server will trigger a purple status for the client tests such as cpu disk etc if no events have been recieved for a period of time

Cannot remember what the default time is for this but it can certainly be changed
