After looking at this a little more, I realize that the NOPROPYELLOW
statement is working (don't know about the bbgen --nopropyellow flag,
though).
I was fooled by the fact that the yellow alarms were appearing in the
event-log display on the bb2 page (they were not appearing at the top of
the bb2 page, and were not setting the background 'alarm color').
We have one non-critical test that is cluttering up our event-log
display. I'd really like to be able to prevent a specific test from
appearing in the bb2 event-log display; is there a way to do this, and,
if not, could I put in a feature request? :)

Subject: [hobbit] Problems supressing yellow alerts
Howdy all,
I wanted to see if anybody else had any experience /w this before I go poking at code.
I've got a test (called 'if_load') that I want to suppress yellow alerts for. Now I've tried three methods for doing this:
. using the 'NOPROPYELLOW:if_load' explicity for each host.
. using 'NOPROPYELLOW:if_load' in conjunction with a .default. host statement
. using --nopropyellow=if_load in the bbgen cmd line in hobbitlaunch.cfg
In the first two cases, I get a "Suppressed warnings (yellow): if_load" in the 'info' screen of all defined hosts. When using --nopropyellow method, I dont even get a msg in the info screen (even after restarting hobbit).
Regardless of which method I use, yellow alerts for if_load still trickle upwards to the bb2 screen. Anybody seen anything like that?
Regards,
-Eric
