See the "badconn" tag in the bb-hosts man page.

Hi

I often see that the CONN test fails for one minute (which is my polling
interval) on many machines. If I run a normal ping command I also sometimes
see a single lost packet. It seems that this is the normal behaviour on our
location? Would you see that as normal, too? And how can I configure
hobbit(ping) for some fault tolerance. E.g. only report a failure if mor
than 3 subsequent pings fail. I need that on a global location so adding a
badconn tag to all hosts is not what I want.

I use hobbit 4.2.0
