Any pointers on resolving the purple status of hobbitd_client would be great.

hobbitd_client is a status that only shows up if hobbitd_client has
had some sort of fatal problem - like crashing. That's why it doesn't
get updated, and hence go purple after 30 minutes. It's just there
as a way of alerting you to the fact that it did crash.

And it seems to work :-)

To get rid of it, just "drop" it: On your Xymon server, run

   bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOBBITSERVERNAME hobbitd_client"
