I have a different & similar problem. I had a cont= test for http. it was a
bad link so the test never ever succeded. It stayed as 'red' as expected.
When I change bb-alerts to email 'RECOVERED' as well, this test starts to
turn red->clear (with alert email saying the same thing) at each check
cycle for a test which always fails.
More annoyinyly, this stayed true even if I removed the 'RECOVERED' from
hobbit-alerts.cfg, after day.

I can run without any problem the bbtest-net command, under the hobbit
account, and get all the fping results.
The fping file is suid as well.
And since once in a while it works and manages to collect results (from
hobbit), I m not sure that is the problem.

Does your hobbit user account have privileges to run fping? You'll
need to set fping to suid to make that work..

Subject: Re: [hobbit] conn test fails / comes back
Just noticed on the bbtest page this little message :
Error output:
Could not run the command 'fping -Ae' (exec failed)

Bump.
Just ran
~/BETA/server/bin$ ./bbtest-net --ping --checkresponse --debug
All the servers have green status, however often i run this command.
I m at a loss as to the nature of the problem.

Hi,
I just upgraded to RC, and noticed a very strange thing.
When I use fping OR hobbitping, the connection test goes red, then
green, and cycles like that for all hosts.
I made sure I had no phantom process on the machine by killing
everything owned by the hobbit user, then starting the server from
scratch, and all tests are fine, except for the connection test.
Any idea where that might come from ?
Thanks,
Stephane
