Drop test columns

As stated in the manual ( who reads those anyway? ), the 'NOCOLUMNS'
only works for standard tests. So it would work for 'conn', but not for
'yourtest'.
 
I learned this the hard way as well...

Thanks Kristian that did the trick :)

That and the bb drop command and the columns are gone permanently now.
The question why the NOCOLUMNS statement didn't work still remains
mistery for me ... maybe works just for some standard tests like cpu,
memory, disk, files ... but not for some client specific tests like apt
in case of debian.

Cheers,

Igor

I have Hobbit 4.2.0 running on Debian box and was trying
numerous times to
drop the "apt" and "libs" columns from the columns display for
couple of
client hosts with no avail. The reason I would like to drop
them is they go
yellow after system upgrades and started to be annoing now
after some time.

I have tried doing it according to hobbit documentation:

- drop the test using the bb command
- use NOCOLUMNS statement in the bb-hosts file for each of the
hosts to hide
the columns

but the columns keep coming back after couple of minutes. So
none of the
above approaches work really.

	
	
	You should turn off the extension script that injects apt
status.
	
	In Ubuntu (I assume it is the same in Debian), this is
	
	   /etc/hobbit/clientlaunch.d/apt.cfg
	
	I think you can just add DISABLED to the entry.
	
	After that, remove the column from hobbit as before, and it
should not
	re-appear.
