Disabling default tests

I envision a day where I can click on a host and there are check boxes
for each test and I can just enable/disable any test by clicking the appropriate
check box. This could be expanded to alarms, thresholds, etc...
But as Henrik has already said, the whole html thing needs a re-write anyway.

Thanks Hanrik

It will be great to have this feature added to one of your next
releases.  I will give this a try.

Thanks again.

FALSE.  Is there such a config file in hobbit.

No.

I had not anticipated this scenario, so it isn't configurable. What you
*can* do is to modify the hobbit client script on your servers:

* If you leave out the "[uptime]" section, you will disable the
 "cpu" status.
* if you leave out the "[df]" section, you will disable the
 "disk" status.
* If you leave out the "[procs]" section, you will disable
 the "procs" status.
* If you leave out the memory section(s) - names vary across
 operating systems - then you will disable the "memory" status.
* The "msgs" status can be disabled by not configuring any logs
 for this host, and running hobbitd_client with the
 --no-clear-msgs option.

The custom scripts you're using - are they specific to your setup, or
are they generally useful ? If the latter, let me know how I can improve
the current tests.
