I am moving to the Critical Systems view, however, to ensure that all the critical systems are in fact on the Critical Systems view, I was hoping to use the Config report (critical), and refer teams to the reports for their pages/servers. However, I always get empty reports, while the normal Config report has the correct values (from nkview.cfg) in the NK column for the correct host/test.
The source code for hobbit-confreport.c shows that it filters based on the NK tag from bb-hosts when run with the --critical option.
This is quite a big issue, I can't give everyone edit access, and there's no other really feasible way to audit this at present.
OK, it looks like there's something wrong here:
if (!nkalerts || (strcmp(nkval(hname, tname, nkalerts), "No") == 0)) wanted = 0;
This change (beware line breaks) seems to do what I need (at least on the dev system I tested on):

However, a host with NK tags in bb-hosts now appears in the report, with NK columns displaying "No". I can live with this though ...
