Another problem found with the 4.3.0 Beta version on AIX is that vmstat
has dropped the cpu wait value and does not store the value in the rrd.

Ran into this myself. It's a simple miscalculation, so the last
character of the data-message sent to the RRD module is truncated, and
this is usually the I/O wait number (if it is a single digit).

Patch attached. You'll need to restart Hobbit after this.

Also I cannot find any documentation on how the "Compact" status feature
is supposed to work!

The bb-host(5) man-page tells you:

       COMPACT:COLUMN=COLUMN1,COLUMN2,COLUMN3[;ditto]
            Collapses a series of statuses  into  a  single
	    column  on  the overview webpage.

E.g. if you have columns foo, bar and baz that you want to collapse
into column "zork":
    0.0.0.0  myhost # COMPACT:zork=foo,bar,baz
