Fyi you can look at the bbtest report of the hobbit server and see
where the time is spent for the tests.

Well after a few days I found the problem (I'm a bit new on hobbit yet),
I set a -debug option in [bbnet] in the hobbitlaunch.cfg:
[bbnet]
ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --report --debug
LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log
And I checked the logs for something, and there was 30 seconds of DNS
timeout trying to resolve a hostname, that it wasn't on the dns. 30
seconds is the default timeout for DNS resolution.
I changed the dns timeout to 2 seconds and now is working like a charm
:D

Subject: Runtime 31 longer than time limit (20)
Hi, I was looking for information about this issue but, apparently there
is not :-(
I'm running hobbit 4.2 using hobbitping poll 12 hosts.
Some of those hosts are behind a 2Mbps link, and almost all the time
that link is 3% busy. The rest of the hosts are in the same LAN as the
hobbit server.
I need to poll 12 hosts within 20 seconds intervals, but it take 30
seconds the complete process. I read that hobbitping is fastest than
fping, and there is some Fping examples that show that 12 hosts would be
ping in 20 seconds without any problem.
I have changed the bbnet interval in the hobbitlaunch.cfg to 20 (or
less, just to try) but here is what the log shows
(/var/log/hobbit/bb-network.log):

If any have any recommendation, or work around, how I can poll this
hosts with 20 seconds interval, would be welcome! :D
Thanks in advance!!
Regards
Javier
