Sorry if this is documented somewhere, but a quick search didn't answer my
question.
I'm defining a new server-side test in `hobbitlaunch.cfg`. It's working as
intended, except for one thing:
It doesn't need to run very often. I'm thinking every 6 hours or so. I've
got it set to 1 hour now while I test things out and it keeps going purple
about a minute before it runs again (and goes back to green). Is the
INTERVAL supposed to be factored in when determining if something should
be purple? If not, what do I need to do? A separate rule just for this
test in `hobbit-alerts.cfg`? (I really hope not.)
When you send the status message to the hobbit server, you have a line like
"status machine.test".
If you run the test every hour, you can say "status+70 machine.test" so the
result is valid for 70 minutes.
