<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I want to make sure I understand how
the badTEST directive in the bb-host file works.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If I have something like this:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">10.10.10.10 foobar
# !telnet ssh noconn badssh:1:1:2</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I read the documentation to work like
this:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Interval 1--------------Interval 2 -------------Interval
3</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">00:00
00:05
00:10</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">0 minutes
5 minutes
5 minutes</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Success
Failure
Failure</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Green
Yellow
Red</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">At 00:00 an ssh test is done and is
successful. The next polling interval is at 00:05 and the 10 second
time-out is hit and the ssh test fails. Due to the badssh directive
the test will turn yellow in Hobbit. The next polling cycle is at
00:10 and the 10 second time-out is reached for the ssh test and this time
a RED alert is generated because it is the second failure (referred to
as the z variable in the documentation).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Is this understanding correct?
Are network tests only done once?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks in advance,<br>
Jim</font>
