Sorry I have to bother you again, but this afternoon I experienced the
same bouncing effect problem again:
the server to be tested went down at 13:31. After 10 minutes conn
worked again but after 5 minutes conn failed and did not come up
afterwards.
Then the following happened:
At 14:01 cpu, procs, msgs, disk went purple.
At 14:02 cpu, procs, msgs, disk went clear.
At 14:06 cpu, procs, msgs, disk went purple.
At 14:06 cpu, procs, msgs, disk went clear.
At 14:11 cpu, procs, msgs, disk went purple.
At 14:11 cpu, procs, msgs, disk went clear.
At 14:16 cpu, procs, msgs, disk went purple.
At 14:16 cpu, procs, msgs, disk went clear.
Then I blue dotted the test untill the machine went up again.
Perhaps I should add the following info: the Hobbit server gets it's
data from a Big Brother server (yeah, it's the last week were Hobbit
runs parallel to a BB-server; production next week after my week off).
So it's not Hobbit who is performing the network tests, yet.
On the Hobbit server the bbd- and bbtest-columns are blue dotted and I
have commented out the bbnet-test in the hobbitlaunch.cfg, so I
thought the network test are not performed twice and everything should
be working fine. Well, the mail actions do work :-]
Should I disable the bbretest-test as well?
Thank for your help,
Peter

Hi all,
Hope you cold shine a light on this one. I'm running Hobbit 4.0.4 on
Solaris 8. I've enabled reporting as follows with macro's in
hobbit-alert.cfg:
$UNIXDAY=MAIL user-54ad2508e1e4@xymon.invalid TIME=*:0000:2359 REPEAT=1d RECOVERED
$UNIXNIGHT=MAIL user-54ad2508e1e4@xymon.invalid TIME=*:0000:2359 DURATION>30m
REPEAT=60m RECOVERED SERVICE=!cpu,!msgs COLOR=!yellow
This morning I found in my mailbox about 4000 mails reporting stopped
& recovered. What happened was that the connection for 'host' failed.
I've got 1 email of that event as it should. But mainly, until the
connection re-established last night, a bouncing effect for other than
the conn-test. I could build a dependancy (don't warn if no-conn) but
that is rather annoying since I have many hosts to manage.
I just don't fully understand why the other tests are bouncing whereas
the conn-test turns off on friday and on last night. See below:

The process check for example turn purple, of course, but then a clear
status appears:
