In Bigbrother, when the client software stopped reporting, the
disk,cpu,msgs, etc..  columns would turn to purple after 30 minutes if
it did not receive any updates.  

In Hobbit, the columns just turn into a - (dash).  What setting do I
need to put to make them turn purple when the Hobbit server doesn't hear
from the client?
They should go purple - the dash only occurs if Hobbit is restarted and
loses all info about there ever having been a status (which shouldn't 
happen either, because 1: Hobbit shouldn't restart on its own, and 2: 
if it restarts, it should pick up the old set of status messages from
the checkpoint-file it generates).

Could you check your hobbitlaunch.log file for any signs of the
"hobbitd" task being restarted ?
