<DIV><SPAN class=001085701-18022005><FONT face=Arial size=2>Interesting.
So I guess one way to do it would be to have all checks for a given host depend
on that hosts conn check.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=001085701-18022005><FONT face=Arial size=2>So if I'm
comprehending correctly, this should work:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=001085701-18022005><FONT face=Arial size=2>In theory, the http
and smtp checks would be clear if conn is red, and no alert would be sent for
them. (While an alert would be sent for the red conn
check.)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=001085701-18022005><FONT face=Arial size=2>That's pretty cool,

<DIV><SPAN class=001085701-18022005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have some hostsA
which all nfs mount from hostB. hostB dies. Now when hostsA bb
clients run its disk check, the df hangs, which causes all those local bb checks
to purple in hobbit. hobbit proceeds to send out five alerts per host (one
for each local purple). In the past, bigbrother would only send out one
alert per group of purples. Is there any way to roll-up alerts like
this?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
