RE: [hobbit] FW: Connections never going yellow?

Hi Steve,

Thank You for the suggestion but that might help because it would only
mean a 1 minute down time before a red which is not ideal but might help
in the mean while. What I think this does:
1. Ping fails
2. Condition stays green
3. Ping is retried in 1 minute per setting
4. Ping fails
5. Condition stays green
6. Ping is retried in 1 minute per setting
7. Ping fails
8. Condition changes to yellow
9. Ping is retried in 1 minute per setting
10. Ping fails
11. condition stays Yellow
12. Ping is retried in 1 minute per setting
13. Ping fails
14. Condition goes Red

If that is correct then it will not work for me but this gives me some
things to try. Because the site will be down for 5 whole minutes before
Red. This certainly shows off the thought put in to the software though!
But this might work with some modifications.

It prompts me to ask a different question can the retry be set for less
then 1 minute? I'm gonna go search the docs and list! 

Thank You Steve you might be onto something!

Have you looked at the badTEST bbtag ?  you could use badconn:3:3:5.
That 
would go yellow after 3 & red after 5 successive ping failures. Though
maybe 
too much of a delay for you. man bb-hosts for more info on badTEST
usage.
