No. I export the data from our inventory and simply regenerate the bbhosts files. So old hosts simply are missing in the new bbhosts files. So I don't know which hosts were deleted. Therefore I would need to store the old export file and compare it to the new one to find the differences and use the "drop host" command. I find that very complicated.
Such a cleanup utility would also be helpful if one edits the bbhosts by hand and forgets to drop a host he has deleted.
I just started to write a shellscript which scans the rrd directory and tries to find the host in the bbhost files. But is complicated to follow all the includes. I thought bbhostgrep is the answer but it only can find a test, not a host.
Any ideas

RE: [hobbit] Howto delete abandoned datafiles
Are you using the "drop host" function in the "bb" command?

Subject: [hobbit] Howto delete abandoned datafiles
Hi
I have written a script which generates several hobbit bbhosts include files automaticly from our inventory system. Now I have a problem when a host has been deinstalled.
I delete the entry from the hobbit config but the old datafiles (rrd and so on) keep there forever.
Is there a tool to scan the complete hobbit bbhost hierarchy and delete all data which are not longer needed?
Thank you
Thorsten Erdmann
