I have approx 300 nodes being monitored and alot of them are Windows. I dont
want to ignore the messages but its too noisy. Is there a way i can generate
a view for the NOC that just excludes the msgs alerts?

thanks,
Dave

Check the man pages for bb-hosts on the section Pagesets and on bbgen look for ignorecolumns

Or you could put this change in hobbitlaunch.cfg:

[bbdisplay]
	...
        CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --rss --nopropyellow=msgs
	...

This will still show the msgs column but won't cause the whole page to
go yellow just because there was a log entry of some description (a red
log entry will still cause the page to go red in this instance) see
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/bbgen.1.html - "STATUS
PROPAGATION OPTIONS"
