<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any progress on this one (see below)? Currently NOTICEs seem to be sent out when an alert is enabled but not when it is disabled (where it is a 'recovered' instead). This appears to be a regression since this message: </FONT><A HREF="http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2005/11/msg00117.html"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2005/11/msg00117.html</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> shows that DISABLED NOTICEs did use to be sent a few years back. I am using Hobbit 4.2.0 with no patches.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Example e-mail when I disable a test:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Subject:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hobbit SebTest:conn recovered</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Body:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">red Tue Mar 18 18:54:07 2008 conn NOT ok </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Service conn on SebTest is not OK : Host does not respond to ping</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">System unreachable for 51 poll periods (15086 seconds)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I also tried upgrading to yesterday's snapshot, but that didn't help. Actually it was far worse, because after disabling a test, I got the e-mail as above, the test was shown as disabled on bb.html, and then hobbitd core dumped, and when it was restarted by hobbitlaunch, the test was no longer disabled and I got another alert. Looking at the core dumps now, it looks like it is core dumping approximately every 5 minutes, so I'll send another e-mail about that, plus another possibly related issue I found with the snapshot.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In addition, one of the alerts I got on this particular test said:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">System unreachable for 5985 poll periods (1813435 seconds)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">And this was just after it went red. Maybe it was so soon afterwards that something went wrong in the calculations? It should have been 1 poll period.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Kind regards,</FONT>
