Is it me, or does badntp in the bb-hosts file not work?

I have several servers running NTP, and they occasionally (several times a day) will lose their sync for a few minutes while they switch between higher stratum servers.  It would be nice if hobbit wouldn't change to a "red" state.

I seem to have the same problem with badhttp. badconn seems to do its just but badhttp seems to be ignored.

I have several 'flaky' web servers and I don't want to hear about them unless they are really having a problem.

Just chiming in here: I seem to have the same problem with badhttp. I cannot
get Hobbit to *not* go red on a single http failure. This will frequently
trigger an alert due to a timeout, but a manual check will see nothing
wrong...

Wondering if anything else has seen this problem. The people who receive the alerts are complaining they get too many. What they should is fix their problems but...

Setting DURATION>5 also seems to be ignored.
So short of increasing bbnet-test --timeout to a longer period can anything else be done ?

The "bad..." tag is currently handled by the network test tool, so
it only works for network tests. Which is rather silly, but it dates
from the time when I had to work with what the BB daemon could do.

(I'm not even sure if the "ntp" test - despite being done by the
 bbtest-net tool - will obey a "badntp" tag ...)

I'm planning on moving this functionality into the hobbit daemon so
it will work for all tests.


Regards,
Henrik
