[hobbit] bbtest goes yellow

[Great D Dilla]

My suggestions:
 
[1] a. Try fping instead of the regular ping. And set the concurrency to an
acceptable level. 
[1] b. You may also want to shorten the timeout period, if you prefer to use
ping instead.
 
[2] Also, you have failed DNS lookups on several hosts. For faster
performance, try adding the "--dns=ip" option to bbtest-net. NOTE: Use this
if DNS entries for hosts do not matter much.

Hello,

 

I have a problem with my hobbit server, when ever a ping monitored host goes
down, the bbtest column goes yellow on my hobbit server.  I think it is
because of the ping tests taking forever. but how can I fix this?
