font-family:Arial'>Today I noticed something strange on my Hobbit monitoring
system. Indeed we experienced an outage on our network causing a high number of
hosts to be unreachable and therefore causing the network tests to be long. It
took 1285 seconds instead of maximum 300. It looked that that thing leads some
misinterpretations of the BBClient data coming from the monitored servers. All
data coming out of the clients have been considered as valid even if they were
generated something like 4 hours ago. Another thing is that even the
network tests generated by the server have been green for a moment even they
were not ok all (those parallel tests have been performed in such conditions that
I am sure of what I am saying). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

watching attentively the test hours. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
