It's very simple.  Conn is a ping test - it pings your host (with one of two utilities).

Example:

192.168.1.1 <http://192.168.1.1>;   myrouter.domain.tld #

This will ping 192.168.1.1 <http://192.168.1.1>;  on every poll cycle and report to you via the web pages and email alerts if you've configured that in hobbit-alert.cfg

That means it does just a ping & if the ping doesn't not reply, it will display an RED alert ?
And if the ping make 200ms or 2000ms or 15000ms to answer ? 
  Thanks you

Well it depends whether you are using fping or hobbitping -
try reading the
man pages, which can be accessed from the Help menu of the web page. 	>
This tells you how many pings, what happens when the first
ping fails, the
timeout etc etc and yes it is configurable.

	
	Thanks you for you answer but I still can figure out what do a "conn" exactly. Can you give the direct URL please ?

You may have to PURCHASE a tool if you want something to monitor ping response times, which are notoriously unreliable as an indicator of anything.

I'm not sure on the values, but it will go green with a response, yellow
with packet loss (not delays, just lost packets) and red when there is no
response after a few packets lost.

I looked around on the Shire and I do not see anything that works with
Smokeping.  Can you possibly get a link for us?  I'd be interested in having
Smokeping work with Hobbit for better troubleshooting purposes!
