Re: [hobbit] content tests

[Charles Jones <jonescr (at) cisco.com>]

FYI Just for fun I gave it a try (specifying the column name as "http"), 
and it appears to work - rather I get the content check in the http 
column, but the "normal" http status that shows the header and whatnot 
isn't there, so I'm guessing that hobbit just displays the last status 
type it received for that column.

Since the content check will still turn red and trigger an alert if http 
itself goes down, this may be all that I need. The only problem I could 
foresee is maybe someone could click the http status in between the 
times that the normal status is reported, and the content status is 
reported, so they would get just the normal status...due to the timing 
of that I doubt it would ever happen so I'm not too worried.

I'm open to any other suggestions or comments.
