changing the IP of hosts won't do the test with route tag (or depend
tag for that matter). In other words if I have real setup like this,
considering they are real IPs

1.2.3.4 hostA # testip route:routerB
1.2.3.5 routerB # testip

There is no way I can just change the IPs to some fake IPs to do the
yellow test.

Anyone know of a trick?
In other words if depends=(testA:host1/test1) I can change the host1's
ip in bb-hosts to test if depends working. Is there any other less
crude way to test it?

Thanks

What if you just sent in a red/yellow status from the commandline to test
the trigger?

That did not help. I think fping has to find it not reachable.

What if you set up two bogus addresses (host A and host B) with Host B
dependent on Host A.  Hobbit should show two failed tests, but Host B
will be yellow and Host A will be red.

That is exactly what I tried and both went red. Check below my exact
entries of bb-hosts related to this
