[hobbit] Alerting when host goes green

[Josh Luthman]

That will be perfect!

dialup The keyword "dialup" for a host means that it is OK for it to be
off-line - this should not trigger an alert. All network tests will go
"clear" upon failure, and any missing reports from e.g. cpu- and disk-status
will not go purple when they are not updated. Thanks Greg!
