Hi,

we are trying the latetst hobbit release on our test-system and it seems to work fine so far.
The only problem we have, is that when a host gets "purple" because of a stoped service on that host,
the background color does not change to purple, like the old BB did before.
But this is a very important funktion for us. What can we do?

many thanks,
Pascal Lehnert

If the status is purple, then the background color should also change to
purple - unless there's another status on the page that is yellow or
red, or purple propagation has been disabled in the host configuration
(the NOPROPPURPLE setting in bb-hosts).

ok, but we did not disable purple propagation (no option like NOPROPPURPLE in bb-hosts).
Is it maybe that the yellow color has a higher prio. than purple?

thank you,
Pascal

oh, I think I found it in "hobbitserver.cfg".

I changed:

ALERTCOLORS="red,yellow,purple"                 # Colors that may trigger an alert message
OKCOLORS="green,blue,clear"                     # Colors that may trigger a recovery message


into:

ALERTCOLORS="red,purple"                 # Colors that may trigger an alert message
OKCOLORS="green,yellow,blue,clear"       # Colors that may trigger a recovery message


thanks,
Pascal

Hi

yes, yellow has a higher priority than purple. I found it confusing, but 
now I'm used to it...

Yes, the order of colors is
green (lowest) - clear - blue - purple - yellow - red (highest)

No, those are only for sending out alerts. Your change means that you
will never get an alert for any yellow status - even if it is listed in
the hobbit-alerts.cfg file.

So, what can I do?
The Hobbit is just perfekt except this little thing.
We need to have the failed clients on the non-green System list.
Because a client that is faild, can also answer to ping requests, so
you do not have a direct visual monitoring for failed clients.
How do you deal with that?

best regards,

Henrik

I do agree.
Purple tests should appear on the non-green view.
