What are the errors on the bottom and/or top of the alarm's page? I imagine you have status messages coming in for hosts that you don't have in your bb-hosts file anymore or something similar to that. The error messages will tell us more.

Subject: [hobbit] Hobbitd constantly yellow
Hello,
I've recently been tasked with restoring functionality to a hobbit server that suffered a corrupted root directory. We had a ghost image of the server (running Ubuntu 6) but it lacked the ability to send alerts. I restored that functionality and now I'm getting a constant hobbitd as yellow, and I'm not even sure what that means. In the past 9 hours the "incoming messages" has grown from 113k to 120k, most of them are status messages.
Where are these messages and what are they? I'm still completely oblivious in the realm of hobbit, I checked the man pages and couldn't make much sense of them in this respect.
Thanks for any help in advance.
