It doesn't.
I don't know if it's OK in XML to leave out certain attributes - I
suppose it is, and in that case there shouldn't be a problem with
implementing the "fields" option to hobbitdxboard.
In my testing I have found that it does not. Most desireable would be
to choose to have the full log msg listed.
The <MessageSummary> attribute has the first line of the status message,
which is usually a summary of the data. The amount XML data generated by
hobbitdxboard is already rather large - I'd rather not increase that
much more.
Thinking back on the sheer amount of data now, I have to agree with you. Initially I was asking since I am being asked about the capability of other in-house webapp tools pulling data out of Hobbit. I think the data provided already in the XML feed is plenty. If those other tools want to provide the Log msg, well the can just have a hyperlink to the hobbit report via hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh.
Other tools really don't even have this option, i.e. Quest's FogLight. So I really have to thank you that it is so easy in Hobbit.
Thank you for your response,
