+#  The redis-alerter.
+#
+#  This doesn't raise/clear alerts in the traditional sense, instead it just
+# stores results in a redis database where you can poll them from a status-panel,
+# or similar.
+#
+#  There is a global set called "hosts" which has the hostname-test-type lists
+# and the individual results can be pulled by simple key-fetches on those.
