Issue with port checks and default section 🔗 link

At the very end of hobbit-clients.cfg I have this configured

DEFAULT
        # These are the built-in defaults.
        UP      1h
        LOAD    5.0 10.0
        DISK    * 90 95
        MEMPHYS 100 101
        MEMSWAP 50 80
        MEMACT  90 97
        DISK %^/cdrom.* IGNORE
        CLOCK 30
        PORT STATE=TIME_WAIT MIN=0 MAX=200 COLOR=red

On two hosts defined above it I have this:

HOST=host1.example.com
        PORT STATE=TIME_WAIT MIN=0 MAX=2000 COLOR=red

HOST=host2.example.com
        PORT STATE=TIME_WAIT MIN=0 MAX=2000 COLOR=red


My intention is to override the default PORT count setting, but it does not work as I expect.


Wed Dec 3 09:13:54 EST 2008 - Ports NOT ok

green state=TIME_WAIT : (found 1529, req. at most 2000)
red state=TIME_WAIT : (found 1529, req. at most 100)


I am using Hobbit Monitor 4.3.0-0.20080403.

Don't put stuff like PORT in the DEFAULT section. Put it
in a "HOST=*" section above the default one. To do what you want,
you'll have to use some explicit "EXHOST=..." definition to
exclude the hosts that should NOT use the normal check.
