badntp

The "bad..." tag is currently handled by the network test tool, so
it only works for network tests. Which is rather silly, but it dates
from the time when I had to work with what the BB daemon could do.

(I'm not even sure if the "ntp" test - despite being done by the
 bbtest-net tool - will obey a "badntp" tag ...)

I'm planning on moving this functionality into the hobbit daemon so
it will work for all tests.


Regards,
Henrik

Just chiming in here: I seem to have the same problem with badhttp. I cannot
get Hobbit to *not* go red on a single http failure. This will frequently
trigger an alert due to a timeout, but a manual check will see nothing
wrong...

Is it me, or does badntp in the bb-hosts file not work?

I seem to have the same problem with badhttp. badconn seems to do its just but badhttp seems to be ignored.

I have several servers running NTP, and they occasionally (several times a

day) will lose their sync for a few minutes while they switch between

I have several 'flaky' web servers and I don't want to hear about them unless they are really having a problem.
