[hobbit] How long should a LOG status be red?

[Gary Baluha]

I believe it depends on how much data is being written to the log.  If the
log is really busy, it could be as little as 1 polling cycle (5 minutes)
that the LOG status stays red.  It depends on how quickly the bad entries
get "pushed" out of the log window size defined in client-local.cfg.
