I had this problem a while ago and it has jumped up out the wood work  again.
Problem is I don't know what I did last time to solve it.

I get a yellow hobbitd button and the error message is
Ignored PURPLE status update from 127.0.0.1 for .unknown

I am running hobbit 4.2.0.

Here is the bbgen output:

bbgen for Hobbit version 4.2.0 Statistics: Hosts : 36 Status  messages : 255 Purple messages : 0 Pages : 1

And bbtest:

bbtest-net version 4.2.0 Statistics: Hosts total : 36 Hosts with no  tests : 1 Total test count : 106 Status messages : 107 Alert status  msgs : 0 Transmissions : 2 DNS statistics: # hostnames resolved : 38 #  succesful : 38 # failed : 0 # calls to dnsresolve : 105 TCP test  statistics: # TCP tests total : 71 # HTTP tests : 9 # Simple TCP  tests : 62 # Connection attempts : 71 # bytes written : 1342 # bytes  read : 231511

I thought it all started when I removed a host from bb-hosts but I'm  not 100% sure.
I removed the host by commenting out the host in bb-hosts and then  running bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop host"
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Lee

FYI,

Found the issue in case anyone else runs across this.

We had a custom script in ~hobbit/server/ext that still had references  to the host that removed.

Commented out the host lines and all is good.

Cheers,

Lee
