RE: [hobbit] Highlights of the 4.3.0 version

["Kern, Thomas" <Thomas.Kern (at) hq.doe.gov>]

When a monitoring system detects something wrong, the only actions I
want the monitor to perform is to get the admin (or the admin's boss)
moving to diagnose and fix the problem. 
 
And I am the admin that I am most concerned with. I don't understand
most of the errors well enough to automate a recovery process.
