It would be nice if you could do this globally for all tests. Maybe you
can and I am not understanding where to do that?

Henrik is ahead of you, Craig -- check out the 'depends' tag:
depends=(testA:host1/test1,host2/test2),(testB:host3/test3),[...]
This tag allows you to define dependencies betweeen tests. If "testA"
for the current host depends on "test1" for host "host1" and test
"test2" for "host2", this can be defined with
depends=(testA:host1/test1,host2/test2)
When deciding the color to report for testA, if either host1/test1
failed or host2/test2 failed, if testA has failed also then the color of
testA will be "clear" instead of red or yellow.

Idea taken blatantly from nagios:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/dependencies.html
This is slightly different to the bbcombotest hobbit currently has.
It would stop the "christmas tree" effect when a core router/switch
fails. Your whole monitoring system would not light up.
define host-service-dependency{
child_host_name server1
child_service conn
parent_host_name router1
parent_service conn
inherits_parent true
}
define host-service-dependency{
child_host_name server2
child_service conn
parent_host_name server1
parent_service conn
inherits_parent true
}
So, in this example, if router1 fails, server1 and server2 change to an
"unknown" (maybe clear?) state for the conn test rather than going red
and sending alerts.
