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.
