Feature request: bbgen to generate statistic of different OS and their versions.

It should also be nice to have the possibility to send the OS/Version
from script different from the bbclient so that we could have OS/Version
for Network appliance storage, databases, switches and routers in the
correct field.

Is it possible also list out what kind of OS and versions to make up >> the total hosts ?

A very quick summary can be made with

   bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard test=cpu fields=BBH_OS"|sort |uniq -c

That gives you a summary of what OS your hobbit client enabled systems > are running. For a more detailed breakdown of the versions you'd have > to request each of the client logs with

  bb 127.0.0.1 "clientlog client1.hswn.dk section=osversion"

and then do some summation over that data.

Hi, Henrik
Thanks for the quick reply.

In futher version of hobbit, Can you automate the summation of OS/Verson in bbgen ?
This will be  another good selling feature to IT centers. it will save lots of time for getting  OS/version/total nodes summary by manual process.
