RE: [hobbit] Multiple yellow to red

["Galen Johnson" <Galen.Johnson (at) sas.com>]

Looking at that in the bb-hosts manpage...
 
 badTEST[-weekdays-starttime-endtime]:x:y:z
              Normally   when  a  network  test  fails,  the  status  changes  to  red  immediately.   With  a
              "badTEST:x:y:z" tag this behaviour changes:
              * While "z" or more successive tests fail, the column goes RED.
              * While "y" or more successive tests fail, but fewer than "z", the column goes YELLOW.
              * While "x" or more successive tests fail, but fewer than "y", the column goes CLEAR.
              * While fewer than "x" successive tests fail, the column stays GREEN.
 
This says "when it fails"...I'm looking for "when it stays in this state"...where state is definable (maybe default is red)...

For network tests, look for "badTEST" in the bb-hosts man page.

Thanks,

	Hey,
	
	I'll admit I haven't put a lot of legwork into this but...is it possible to configure hobbit to go red on a test after a certain number of cycles at yellow?  I have some tests that I don't mind if they are yellow for small period but if they are there too long I need to know. 
	
	I could probably handle this with a script but it'd be nice if hobbit could handle it out of the box...maybe extend COLOR or DURATION...
	
	HOST=* COLOR=3*yellow
	        blah blah blah
	        MAIL admin (at) foo.com
	
	That would alert after it was yellow for 3 cycles...or would a DURATION alert work...hurmmmmmm...
