on-going snapshot issue

Since my other issues with 4.2.0/allinone did not get any respones,
please let me know if there is going to be a way to turn OFF
descriptions in bb2.html in the snapshot?  Time is short and it is very
tedious to compile a new snapshot daily hoping it is changed.  I did
look through the documentation, the first time it appeared, and I
couldn't find anything

Again here is what it looks like:

Host1 (My host type:This host is a standalone server for the xyz group)
conn cpu disk files info memory msgs oradb orasys procs prtdiag trends
vxvm
Host2
conn cpu disk files info memory ... trends
Host3
conn cpu disk files info memory ... trends
Host4 (Part of the cluster foo, contact support for help 123-5555)
conn cpu disk files info memory msgs oradb orasys procs ... trends

We use our descriptions in the info column and they are needed, so I
cannot just remove all descriptions and comments from bb-hosts.  Any
help would be appreciated.  Do people like the descriptions on bb2.html
or is just my config that has done this with the snapshot?

If it wasn't for 'Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout', stale
alerts, and hung memory segments and semaphores I would just wait until
the first pre-release or full release.  Pease help.

Apply this patch, and run bbgen with the "--tooltips=always" option.
The patch will be included in the next snapshot (generated in a couple
of hours).

These are related, I think. It sounds like your hobbitd process is
crashing from time to time.

Fantastic Henrik, I really appreciate you taking a look at this.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work, perhaps I have something misconfigured?
Here is what my setup looks like in hobbitlaunch.cfg:

[bbdisplay]
        ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        GROUP generators
        CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --tooltips=always
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-display.log
        INTERVAL 1m

I have also tried to toggle through all 3 settings and run the command
by hand with no change:

~hobbit/server/bin> bbcmd bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --tooltips=always

There is nothing logged.

You would think, but there is no core.  Regardless the snapshot runs
nice and smooth, error free minus the tooltips.
I am looking forward to using the next release, and probably will run
the snapshot version so I can restore our redundant hobbit servers.

I should have added this is with the latest snapshot as opposed to using
the patch.

Henrik,

Using today's snapshot on a Redhat Enterprise Linux 4, Dell Optiplex 620
machine I still cannot get this to work.  This is a new OS install, new
hobbit install (latest snapshot) with nothing but a description,
DESCR:"This is a description...", added to the only entry in bb-hosts.
I also changed the following:

hobbitserver.cfg:FQDN="FALSE"
hobbitlaunch.cfg:       CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --tooltips=never

I also tried 'always' and the default which removes "--tooltips="

The only way I could get hobbit to remove the descriptions on the
bb2.html page was to edit line 469 in lib/htmllog.c to "if (1)" from "if
(usetooltip)" and recompile.

To remind you this is what it looks like on my bb2.html page:

Hobbit-server (This is our main hobbit server that has a really long
description which pushes all the columns over to the right) conn
cpu  	 disk  	   	 http  	 info  	   	 msgs  	 oratns-1521
ports  	   	 traprate  	 trends....

~David

Ps. Sorry it took so long to comment on this.  I appreciate the help.
