Removing Old Entries

As I've been investigating Hobbit with view to a rollout, I've added
then removed ports to monitor in bb-hosts. Hobbit does stop monitoring
them, but doesn't seem to remove them from the display.
 
For example, I setup RDP monitoring ok some Windows servers. Hobbit
added this to the display, and all was ok. I decided to remove the RDP
monitoring from two specific servers, and now instead of just seeing a
small dash (indicating not being monitored), I get the purple square
with the diagonal sliding line, which I can't seem to get rid of.
 
Thanks

Log onto hobbit server

 
cd to $BBHOME/bin (where $BBHOME is the install directory of the server)

 
now run:

 
./bb 127.0.0.1 "drop hostname testname"

 
For single tests ^^

 
Or: ./bb 127.0.0.1 "drop hostname"

 
For all tests on the host.

 
Jason.

You just need to remove the entries on the hobbit server with "~/hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "windowssystemname RDP" ( RDP or whatever the name of the metric is ).

Look in the doc for instructions on how to "drop" a service after you
quit monitoring it.  It is hard for the Hobbit server to tell the
difference between "I don't care about that any more" and "the agent
quit sending information."
 
I believe the syntax is "/wherever/hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop
<host> <test>"
