We have just upgraded from bb after 5 years or so to hobbit and we're not

due to some of the poorly written software (not by us) that runs on them. I
have tred using the DOWNTIME= option on the BB hosts but it only seems to
ignore the net tests like http, conn etc. The server still has the bb client
installed on it so when the server comes back up the bb client starts before
some of the monitored services start and therefore marks them red and we get
paged on them.
That doesn't sound right - the DOWNTIME setting should trigger on any
test status that goes into Hobbit, whether it is a client-side or
network-test.
I'll setup something similar here and see if I can reproduce this.
We have one alert that goes out via email and then to sortof a mailing list,
and then another line that does email-to-pager. I was thinking something
along the lines of what I have below although I am not sure about the TIME
statement if you can have comma separated values, ,if you can pass midnight
such as TIME=*:0910:0900
"Yes" to both questions. You can definitely have a list of
comma-separated settings, and wrapping around midnight also works. You
can try running "hobbitd_alert --test HOSTNAME TESTNAME" and see how
it decides which alerts to send out.
Your configuration looks OK to me.
