Try adding the "nodisp" tag to the host's descriptions in bb-hosts. This

to the main page.
This didnt seem to work for me, but I did as Thomas suggested and that
works OK. (A minor annoyance though is that I still see my PRIVATE:
machines in the "All non-green view", I think I saw some option I can set
to avoid this too... maybe that is "nodisp", hm.)
However - and I reckon this is a bug in my running version of Hobbit
(4.2pre downloaded a few weeks ago) that might be fixed in the current
alpha release: If I go to "Administration / Find host", no matter what
machine I type it always says that the location is "Top page".
Thanks,

Hi Kolbjørn,
Alarms are configured on a globla basis. What you are missing is to change
the BBLOCATION tag for all the other hosts in your bb-hosts file to
something different and then configure your global display test to look only
at them, this is done in hobbitserver.cfg

Hello,
I just set up a Hobbit-server for testing, to see if we (hopefully) can
"upgrade" from our old bigbrother. One feature we have missed is to be
able to set up pages with non-critical/testing/private machines, that wont
affect the over-all status of the Hobbit main-page.
If one could set this as a page property flag or something
("ignore-in-parent"), that would be superb.
Is this perhaps already possible?
All of this can be done with building alternate page sets.
OK, I finally got around to try it out.
I put this into my bb-hosts:
##### PRIVATE maskiner #####
privatpage kolla Kolla sine maskiner
privatgroup-compress
privatpage einar Einar sine maskiner
privatgroup-compress
privatpage oep Øyvind sine maskiner
privatgroup-compress <b>Here goes...</b>
and put in PRIVAT:kolla, PRIVAT:einar and PRIVAT:oep on the respective's machines.
Then I made a $BBHOME/ext/privat.sh looking like this:
#!/bin/sh
BBWEB="/private-maskiner" $BBHOME/bin/bbgen --pageset=privat $BBHOME/www/private-maskiner/
and lastly, made an entry in $BBHOME/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg:
[bbprivat]
ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
CMD $BBHOME/ext/privat.sh
LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/privat.log
INTERVAL 1m
And it works nicely - for /private-maskiner - however, they machines are still
showing up on the default pages, and alarms are not limited to show up inside
/private-maskiner.
Am I missing something, or is it not possible to configure it so that certain
machines are only viewable/"alarmable" from within a certain alternate page?
