Hello,

Really, NODISP doesn't work. It just ignores lines with a # at the
beginning, but it is not monitored.

Hello,

I recently migrated from bb with bbgen to Hobbit 4.02, but i found some
differences between bb/bbgen and Hobbit. I don't know if this is by
design or something has broken in the meantime. I've searched the
archives, but i couldn't find anything in there.

The things i've found are all located in the bb-hosts files :

- The nodisp tag doesn't seem to work anymore. I use this to show some
hosts on a differen pageset, but not on the main interface.
- The dialup tag (as a tag behind an entry, not as a separate entry)
also doesn't work as i expected. With the bb/bbgen combination the cpu,
disk, svcs and msgs tests on hosts with the dialup tag didn't go purple
if fping was clear, but now it does. I worked around this with the
NOPROPPURPLE tag, but i would rather see them also become clear.

I also found one small copy-paste error in the man-page of
hobbit-alerts.cfg (and also the web-version) :

EXSERVICE=targetstring Rule excluding an alert by matching the hostname.

hostname should ofcourse be service.

I'm also missing a netstat entry for Darwin (for creating the graphs).
Perhaps this can be added too ? Ofcourse i can supply the output of this
test on Darwin.

Last but not least : Cudos to Henrik for creating such a wonderful
successor to BB.

Greeting,
