Sorry if I got a little snippy. I found the problem, and its a little embarrassing. It seems that because our <b>Exchange</b> mail servers are a little unreliable that attempts at resending alerts was causing my main Hobbit server to overload, so I moved the paging off to another server using bbproxy. I have been neglecting to update the configuration on the new server. Oops. Red face. I guess Henrik just made it too easy to do stuff like that. If it had been a more convoluted process and less transparent, I wouldn't have forgotten that I did it. <br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">If you would read the initial
messages in the thread, you will see that I have done that, several times, both
for the box as a whole and for the specific test (conn) that is causing the
problem. I have RTFM. <br>
<br>
I did find an entry for the box in the hobbitd.chk file, I stopped hobbit,
removed the line that referenced said box and restarted hobbit, we will see if
this cures the problem. It is not a method that I would recommend, however. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">If you have the admin scripts you can use the
clean script. If you don't have the script then you need to use the
hobbit del host command...I'm lazy and using the GUI so I can't help you here
=(<br>
<br>
The problem is that it is still purple, therefor it alerts you. You need
to get rid of the purple messages.<br>

<p>I have removed some machines from hobbit, taken all mention of them from the
configuration files and issued the "drop" command using bb. I am
still getting notified of their "purple" status every day, and it has
been several weeks since I removed them from Hobbit. How can I stop these
alerts from being generated?<br>
