In the current version, Hobbit behaves like BB in that respect.  

I have some ideas and the beginnings of some code that would allow you
to do this, by filtering status-messages on the Hobbit server before
they are processed by the normal daemon. My idea was that since the
RRD graph module is already parsing a lot of the data, it wouldn't be
terribly difficult to match the data fed into the RRD files against
some thresholds, and trigger an alert e.g. if utilisation of a single
disk goes above some threshold.
