See the "badconn" tag in the bb-hosts man page.
As I said, I don't want to add that badconn tag to every host. Is there a way to set that globally for all hosts?

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
