[hobbit] Alerts on server reboot?

[Tod Hansmann]

Purple messages on what?  Connection alarms should only go red, maybe
for a couple polling cycles.  Services, I'd imagine, would come back up
with the server.

Regardless, you can suppress alarms for a given host and/or service on
that host with several ways.  The two that come to mind for me are:
 - Use the DOWNTIME directive in bb-hosts (see the man-page)
 - Use the web interface to disable the host tests for however long you
need when you need to restart a server.

The alarms will still be logged, but won't show up or flow up the chain
to bb2.html or whatnot.

Hope that helps.

Is there a way to suppress the flood of alerts we get on a server
reboot?  If the machine is down for 10 minutes and comes back up, we get
flooded with purple messages.
