[hobbit] Highlights of the 4.3.0 version

[Kern, Thomas]

When a monitoring system detects something wrong, the only actions I
want the monitor to perform is to get the admin (or the admin's boss)
moving to diagnose and fix the problem. 
 
And I am the admin that I am most concerned with. I don't understand
most of the errors well enough to automate a recovery process.
