My current bb server administration require using many bb commands to cleanup a retired host.
I hope hobbit server can enable same kind of removal from web gui.
    
Shouldn't be difficult, but right now you need to do two things:

1) Remove the host from the bb-hosts file.
2) Run the command
        bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME"

If you only want to remove a test that is purple because you've stopped
testing it, then
    bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME TESTNAME" will do it.

This would be a really good additional to the WEB UI to try and get as much as possible away from accessing the server via ssh or similar. There is already an Edit Hosts component that I know of but is there an edit alerts one as well ? If not perhaps this can be another addition for editing things through the UI.

Also another thing someone suggested to me yesterday with regards to the 'critical systems' piece thats now in there, it would be good if possible to have a button on each page for each service that says 'add this test to critical systems' which is nice and lazy but hey just passing on some info that someone said to me :)

Cheers
