The other weird thing is that the status goes back and forth between RED
and GREEN.

Are you using fping?  Can the hobbit user run fping?  Seems like you
have to do some fiddling because fping requires root, and the symptom is
red connectivity tests for everything in the bb-hosts file.  This is a
dim memory from when I first set up Hobbit several years ago...

Hi Josh,

Issue 1 - Now, if I look at status page, the status is red, but I can
ping the ip from the hobbit server

Bb-hosts for this test is as follows:
216.20.63.145  mec-dns1   # NET:brutus
216.20.63.147  mec-dns2   # NET:brutus

Issue 1 - what is your hobbit-alert.conf

Issue 2 - no hobbit uses the mail command.  Can you give us more detail
as to what the email error is?
