From the hobbit internals perspective I can't really answer that.  This cludge is perhaps somewhat outside of the way hobbit is designed to work, but it's worked fine for our team for many moons.  When a server goes offline I generally don't need/want anything other than a short alert which says servername.conn.  The '/bin/mail -s' line below provides that detail in the subject line.
