Thanks Greg. Yes I found this on the list from nearly a year ago. Looks like
I have a lot of data entry ahead of me if I want to use this feature.

I am *guessing* that you need to enter a record for each combination of
host and test, so if you want to track three tests as "critical" you will
need three records.

I never did understand the "master record" concept well enough to get it to
work so I ended up using  a bigger hammer when entering data.  Fortunately I
did not need to enter very much.

Quick, and I hope, simple question. In Hobbit 4.2.0 I am just learning
about setting up the critical systems view. It appears that you can't have
more than one test defined for a given host or have a host cloned from more
than one master record. Is that true? The documentation only talks about
having one test in the test field and my testing indicates that that is also
true. So, if I have two critical services on one host or set of hosts (e.g.
smbd and httpd) how would I get those into the critical systems page?
Thanks,
