- firewall rule modified, so no connection from a server to the hobbitd
daemon allowed
- Hobbit client not run automatically after system restart
- Hobbit client stopped, hung, etc.

Yes , I am talking about these cases.
Not about tests done by the server which are "hidden" by conn when there is
no connectivity.
I am talking about a hobbit client not running or not reaching hte server
and then all services monitored localy send many purple alerts .
(cpu,disk,memory,etc..)

Let me understand your situation.  You have one host, IE:

1.2.3.4 <http://1.2.3.4>; mybroken.host.com <http://mybroken.host.com>;
# ssh dns pop3 smtp http://mybrokenhost.com <http://mybrokenhost.com>;

Now after some time you have ssh and dns going down, but the box is
still green on conn/ping?  Logically, there are two problems - bad
bind and bad opensshd, so two alerts is a wise choice.

If you are saying with the example above that every test goes down
because it is offline, in my case at least, it only gives me one alert
- bad conn, the rest are tagged with "depend" essentially and don't
alert you.  Is this not the case for you?

Hi

there are various situations where a host responds to ping but does not
send any status to hobbitd :
- firewall rule modified, so no connection from a server to the hobbitd
daemon allowed
- Hobbit client not run automatically after system restart
- Hobbit client stopped, hung, etc.
