Hello,

  Is there a way to specify warn/panic thresholds for the ping test?
I'm monitoring several routers and would like to send notification to
the network admins if things start getting too slow.
man bb-hosts
search for BADCONN
I was looking at badconn, but I'm not sure it's going to do what I
need.  My understanding is that you can specify different thresholds
for failure instead of the test going red immediately.

I'm wondering if there is a setting to warn based on the result of the
successful response time. eg: The ping response comes back, but it was
500ms which too  high for that are of the network.
Ah, then you want to run mrtg with ping-probe, and use bbmrtg.pl to
alert hobbit of the data collected.
