Problems supressing yellow alerts
list Eric E *hs Schwimmer
Howdy all, I wanted to see if anybody else had any experience /w this before I go poking at code. I've got a test (called 'if_load') that I want to suppress yellow alerts for. Now I've tried three methods for doing this: . using the 'NOPROPYELLOW:if_load' explicity for each host. . using 'NOPROPYELLOW:if_load' in conjunction with a .default. host statement . using --nopropyellow=if_load in the bbgen cmd line in hobbitlaunch.cfg In the first two cases, I get a "Suppressed warnings (yellow): if_load" in the 'info' screen of all defined hosts. When using --nopropyellow method, I dont even get a msg in the info screen (even after restarting hobbit). Regardless of which method I use, yellow alerts for if_load still trickle upwards to the bb2 screen. Anybody seen anything like that? Regards, -Eric

After looking at this a little more, I realize that the NOPROPYELLOW statement is working (don't know about the bbgen --nopropyellow flag, though). I was fooled by the fact that the yellow alarms were appearing in the event-log display on the bb2 page (they were not appearing at the top of the bb2 page, and were not setting the background 'alarm color'). We have one non-critical test that is cluttering up our event-log display. I'd really like to be able to prevent a specific test from appearing in the bb2 event-log display; is there a way to do this, and, if not, could I put in a feature request? :) Regards, -Eric

I've discovered the joys of the --eventignore flag for bbgen, which does pretty much what I wanted.
