</div>So if I understand you correctly, the host you are testing has wrong<br>
information in DNS, so you want Hobbit to monitor it using IP addresses,<br>
ignoring DNS?<br>
<div><br>
> bbd:bbd ok : Ping failed, or dialup host/service<br>
> Service bbd on <a href="http://tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in" target="_blank">tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in</a> is OK<br>
> Dialup host/service, or test depends on another failed te<br>

><br>
> conn :conn NOT ok<br>
> Service conn on <a href="http://tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in" target="_blank">tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in</a> is not OK : Host does not respond to ping<br>
<br>
</div>So I assume you have something like this in bb-hosts:<br>
<br>
13.1.1.2 <a href="http://tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in" target="_blank">tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in</a> # bbd ssh<br>
<br>
To get Hobbit to use the IP address and not lookup the name in DNS, you can<br>
use `testip', changing the line to this:<br>
<br>
13.1.1.2 <a href="http://tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in" target="_blank">tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in</a> # testip bbd ssh<br>
<br>
Then Hobbit will ping 13.1.1.2 (which I understand works) instead of<br>
<a href="http://tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in" target="_blank">tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in</a> (which I understand does not work).<br>
<br>
If you have http tests, you need to similarly change this:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in/" target="_blank">http://tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in/</a><br>
<br>
into this:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in" target="_blank">http://tb1.stp.cdac.ernet.in</a>=<a href="http://13.1.1.2/" target="_blank">13.1.1.2/</a><br>
<div><br>

<br>
</div>The clear is probably due to the ping test failing. Hobbit takes failing conn<br>
test to mean the host is down, and then does not bother to report all the<br>
other services red.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
<br>
