[hobbit] Conn test problems

[White, Bruce]

Josh,
 
I just had similar problem last night.  For one cycle hobbit reported it
couldn't ping the entire shop!  Needless to say it set off some alarms
around here.  I find nothing in the hobbit logs,  and nothing in the syslog
for the hobbit server to indicate a NIC issue.  My network guy sees nothing
on the switch for the switch or the port.   Has anyone else seen this
happen?

I've been getting a lot of these recently.  A lot of the time I'll get a
good 3/4 of the hosts I'm monitoring like this, other days it is just one or
two.  I can't seem to find any pattern to it.  I'm very confident it isn't
network related as it happens to the first entry, Hobbit server.  I just
can't imagine why it would have issues getting to 127.0.0.1
<http://127.0.0.1> !

I was also under the impression that the ping test is done every 60s or 120s
so these tests just can't be true positive results.

Poking around I also found that the test to my hobbit server (this is
127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1>  mind you) went up in early December.

Looking for any input at this point!
