Setting up a new non-green page for a specific list of systems 🔗 link

I would like to have a non-green page that only shows network devices (at
the moment I just have the one setup with all machines) and saw the
following in a previous exchange of emails:

Alternatively, you can set up a new non-green page for just that
specific list of systems.
Look here for more information. http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/05/msg00121.html


Was wondering if the old hobbiton archives were out there somewhere so I
could read that linked post (from 2008) as it seemed to have helped a
couple of users or alternatively some pointers as to how to set up a second
or third non-green page to show machines I select.

thanks

Steve

Thanks John,

but unfortunately the link you provided points to the same URL I cannot get
to.

Hey thanks a lot for that Jeremy, just had a meeting about this so your
timing was much appreciated.
Not sure I can use another bb-hosts page though as all the servers I want
on bb3 are on the main master bb-hosts.
Will investigate
thanks again!

If it's its own subpage already, you can use the BOARDFILTER environment
variable read by xymongen and something like this. If it's not a distinct
page, but is a distinct file, you can just feed the file directly as the
HOSTSCFG variable

This is an untested (!), hastily-genericized version of a script we use
internally as one of our dashboards. We have a huge number of host-like
objects in hosts.cfg, so being able to create special nongreen subviews
helps keep certain dashboards useful.

Just set this to run via a tasks.cfg stanza like normal, editing the
parameters as needed.
