It would VERY nice to be able to print out uptime and availability reports

<p>Can I suggest you use IP addresses for a number of servers and see if they
survive through your next episode. That will give you an idea of where the

What most people suggest is having a local DNS server, on the Hobbitmon<br>
server itself.<br>
<br>
As this is happening at the same time every single day I don't believe<br>
DNS would be the cause of the issue, though it is worth taking a look at<br>
until another idea comes along.<br>

Hmmm... bummer, there goes that theory... If you are
using IP<br>
addresses, and you are still getting failures on these hosts, then dns<br>
is not involved. A ttl of five minutes is fairly worthless for a caching<br>
server. It only helps if it hits the same device within five minutes, as<br>
hobbit is pinging every five mins (default), you will most likely always<br>
be pulling from your master/slaves...<br>

Well almost (good 99%) of my hosts have the testip
tag, so it<br>
doesn't<br>
need to look up the names. The things it does
look up are 5m<br>
TTLs<br>
<br>
though.<br>
