Color of conn test
list Christian Rehberger
Hi, I want to check our printer also as our server, but I don't want to get a red page if the conn test of one of the printers fails. Is there a possibility to change the configuration of the alert color for one ore more hosts in bb-hosts from red to yellow in cause of a failed conn test?

Indirectly. You can set a "badconn:1:1000:9999" tag on the host, then it will be yellow for the first 9998 failed ping tests before it goes red. Henrik

Hello, Is there a way to change what server ntpdate polls from Hobbit? I do not want it to poll the local server, but a remote server. Is this possible to modify? Thanks!

I noticed on the DEMO Hobbit page, under NTP there is a trend graph. Mine does not provide that. I was wondering what am I missing to to show the offset trend under NTP?

Huh? Hobbit's "ntp" test will poll whatever server you configure with this check in the bb-hosts file. Regards, Henrik

I must not understand what ntp test does. It checks for drift on the local server, correct? So, what does the local server poll to check for drift, itself, or another ntp server? Please bare with me.

It checks if the local ntp server is running and if he thinks, he's in sync with higher level server. mfg Andreas -- DITF Denkendorf

Hobbit has built-in (non-ntp) clock drift checks. AFAIK, the ntd check is specifically to test if the ntp server is working (not that a client using ntp can do anything specific).
