Rafal,
If I recall correctly this is a feature that will be implemented out of the
box in 4.3.0 as I am looking forward to this feature as well.

Hi all,
Second try, Is this just not possible? :-(
Thank you for all the help in the past with the questions I've had. All is
working well and I have good confidence in my implementation of this tool.
However since I am a convert from BigBrother (Free version) there is a
difference that I hope we can find a way to emulate.
The background:
We have approx 60 locations sitting out in the US connecting back to HQ
via commodity DSL using VPN. Naturally we have some packet loss on those
connections periodically, especially when printing within Citrix or when it
is busy with data going back and forth.
The issue:
What used to happen with BB is that when there was a skipped ping out of 3
an orange condition would trigger not red.
What happens with Hobbit is that now I never get a yellow but rather get a
RED and then a Green within seconds of each other instead of a yellow.
Here is the "FPING" line from my server config:
FPING="$BBHOME/bin/hobbitping --max-pps=10000000 *--responses=5*"
I was had changed this "*--responses=5"* in hopes that it would produce
the same results but it does not.
And I do ping my sites every minute no matter what to test them. Overall
the BBtest statistics report that I have a total of 83 host pinged and the
most time it ever took for "Time Total" on the graph is approx 18 seconds
and that happened once. Most times it is approx 5 seconds.
Is there a set of switches or some other way to get the same behavior from
Hobbit that I had with BB.
Thank You for all the help in the past and thank you in advance!
