The two suggestion given, were really and either or. Though you could perform 
both, but it is rather redundant.

Option 1: NOCOLUMNS, that is a bbtag and belongs with each server you want to 
hide those reports. i.e.
1.2.3.4    furrybunny.server.com   # NOCOLUMNS:files,msgs

This is a bbtag defined in the server/etc/bb-hosts file, thusly it's usage is 
documented in "man bb-hosts".

Option 2: hobbitd_client paramters.
If you applied as you said, but did not perform 'server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop 
furrybunny.server.com files"' for both files & msgs. Well then those reports 
will be purple in 30 secs. They are purple because those reports are no longer 
generating, and thus the data is stale.

if you are unsure of the commands or suggestions that have been given, please 
read up on the man pages for further details. You should never implement a 
command or parameter you are not sure of.

only conn,cpu,disk,info,memory,ssh and trends.
Edit server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg

navigate to the [clientdata] section.

Add to the end of the CMD line:  --no-clear-msgs --no-clear-files

--no-clear- ports.


see man hobbitd_client for details of these parameters.

Oh yeah, if you choose that option, those clears will then turn purple
after

30 mins. You will need to drop them, after you add those parameters.
