Hi Josh,

Issue 1 - Now, if I look at status page, the status is red, but I can
ping the ip from the hobbit server

Bb-hosts for this test is as follows:
216.20.63.145  mec-dns1   # NET:brutus
216.20.63.147  mec-dns2   # NET:brutus

Issue 1 - what is your hobbit-alert.conf

Issue 2 - no hobbit uses the mail command.  Can you give us more detail
as to what the email error is?

Hello,

I'm new to hobbit and linux so please bear with me.  I've looked at some of the conf files, but can't seem to resolve a couple of issues.

Issue 1 - keep getting critical messages even when status is green on status screen.  Messages come every 5 minutes.

Issue 2 - some messages are not getting thru.  has hobbit installed it's own email server? i've run a mailq command and see a bunch of messages saying "connection refused" to a specific server.  not sure why it's trying to connect to that server.

Thanks,
Dave
