The default is 0 - i.e. alerts go out as soon as a status goes
critical. This is the same as BB's default. 

I think you're confusing some items; the equivalent of BB's
"pagedelay" setting would be the REPEAT value (which defaults to 30
minutes in Hobbit, or whatever you specify as hobbitd_alerts'
--repeat=N option).

Hmm, how often Hobbit checks for the host.conn? I have a system that
rebooted and came back up in 3 mins and Hobbit never noticed it.

 From the "Tips and Tricks" section of the hobbit help:


      I need the web-pages to update more frequently

The ~/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg defines the update interval for all of the Hobbit programs. The default is for network tests to run every 5 minutes, and webpage updates to happen once a minute.

Note that if you run the /bbretest-net.sh/ tool on your network test server (this is the default for a new Hobbit server), then network tests that fail will run every minute for up to 30 minutes after the initial failure, so usually there is little need to change the update interval for your network tests.
