[hobbit] Multiple Views

[Tom Callahan]

I've had similar occurrences with Windows machines. The message file
logging tends to generate red events all the time due to the lovely
services manager stuff.

I don't have a solution for you, but if you could give us an idea of
what exactly you are seeing that is triggering hobbit to go red, that
could help us to determine a way for you to set timeouts and the likes
for certain events.

Thanks,
Tom Callahan
