hobbitd_alert --test is for simulating various different conditions. It doesn't reflect the current status of the tests.
You can pass extra parameters to specify the color, duration, group and time.


*** from the manpage ***
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- --test HOST SERVICE [options]
    Shows which alert rules matches the given HOST/SERVICE combination. Useful to debug configuration problems, and see what rules are used for an alert.

    The possible options are:
    --color=COLORNAME The COLORNAME parameter is the color of the alert: red, yellow or purple.
    --duration=SECONDS The SECONDS parameter is the duration of the alert in seconds.
    --group=GROUPNAME The GROUPNAME paramater is a groupid string from the hobbit-clients.cfg file.
    --time=TIMESTRING The TIMESTRING parameter is the time-of-day for the alert, expressed as an absolute time in the epoch format (seconds since Jan
1 1970). This is easily obtained with the GNU date utility using the "+%s" output format.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------

Also instead of HOST=* you can use PAGE=pagename if you've seperated your hosts into subpages in bbhosts.

  PAGE=Production COLOR=red EXSERVICE=%(cpu|memory|msgs) DURATION>6
    MAIL root at localhost


Cheers,
Omar
