Suppressing tests? 🔗 link

Does anyone know of a simple way, maybe in the bb-hosts file to suppress
tests? I'd like to suppress the "info" and "conn" and a few other custom
test column names, for some, but not all clients.

Im using hobbit server 4.2 with BB 1.9i clients.

The "group-only" and "group-except" settings can do that. See the
bb-hosts(5) man-page for details.

"noconn noinfo" for the host in bb-hosts, for the custom tests, you have
to make them awae of "nomytest" tags. How you do that depends on how the
script is made. 

As an example, I have a test called "kind" that runs on the hobbit server and
does checks for all machines with real IP-adresses (that is, all lines that
begin with a number between 1 and 9 in bb-hosts) except those with "nokind".
