Hello All,

I just installed hobbit a while ago and I've been having some problems.

It seems that a few times a day my first 8 or so hosts in the bb-hosts file
go red for conn (which is all I test for).  I already tried setting the
concurrency for bbtest-net to a lower number, which didn't help.  The really
odd part is as soon as conn goes red, I check and it says it's been that way
for 15-20 polls.

It seems like the history is somehow getting corrupted or the ping isn't
being done right?

Could anyone help me out?

Thanks,
~Pete

Hi all
 I am setting up some groups in my bb-hosts file, to group my servers
accorfing to function.
 However, I have a few servers that serve multiple roles, and as such,
should appear in more than one group.
When I do this, bbtest gets a little upset, and tells me this may cause
strange results.
 How strange is strange?
Is there a way of doing this which is acceptable to bbtest?
 Cheers
     Vernon

Put all of the network tests and other definitions on one of your host
entries, then make all of the duplicates like this:

   0.0.0.0 hostname # noconn
