An update to this... I can see in the code that it should support group-only, but it doesn't appear to work very well. I haven't been able to find any changes yet that will make it work, though - but my regex isn't as sharp as most people's seem to be :-)
Everything else appears to work well with BB1.9c/BBgen 3.5, though!

Here's another one...
You do not appear to have any support for the "group-only" directive.
This works like group-compress, but you list exactly which services to
display for the hosts included in the group.
EG:
group-only test1|test2|test3|test4|test5 Servers Group
This facilitates having hosts with more tests than comfortably fit on a
single line in the display to be split among multiple lines, or which
have services that only apply to a specific page grouping.
An example I have is a database server with a dozen different databases
each monitored by bb-moracle, but producing their own dot. I split the
server to have an 'OS-Tests' line and a 'Database-Tests' line in the
display. This is performed with group-only.

Hi Thomas, thanks for helping test out the script :)
1. If the a line starts with #, it is a comment. The script reports me >a syntax-error I added the following lines:
---snip---
# Exclude Comments
elsif($item =~ /^#/) {
next;
}
---snap---
Ahh, I was handling comments incorrectly (if they had whitespace before
them on a line they were being parsed, instead of ignored). Now fixed.
2. I included one host on more than one page, so the script reports me >about already definded host.
To get a step forward, I comment out the part in the sctipt.
Now I see the subpages, but no hosts. I can add hosts to the subpage.
I already tried to make a script, that builds the bb-hosts from a >MySQL-Database. I got it never finished, because of all the possible >combinations :(
If you comment out the line that reads in hosts, its to be expected that
you wont see any on the pages/subpages :) I assumed (yet another
possibly incorrect assumption on my part) that you couldn't have the
same hostname defined in two places in your bigbrother/hobbit hierarchy;
I'll have to play around with this some to see how bigbrother behaves.
Hopefully, I'll have a patch out in an hour or so.
Regards,
-Eric
