<DIV><SPAN class=296070521-31032006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was thinking of
monitoring employee laptops, and maybe even desktops, with hobbit. I added
a group to my hosts file with the DIAL tag, created a line in the hosts
file 0.0.0.0 mylaptop.mydomain.local # noping. I then installed a client
on the laptop and just set it to monitor the basics (CPU, Disk, Memory). I
then shut down the laptop and took it home. Thirty minutes later I checked
my hobbit pages from my home desktop and saw that the status of the client was
set to purple. I obviously misunderstood the functionality of the DIALUP
tag. Is it possible to monitor a device that would only check in a couple
of times a day? I know I could set specific alerts thresholds for the
laptop, but was hoping there might be a "universal"
solution.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
