Disabling default tests
list Daniel Lozovsky
I want to be able to disable client test such as disk, procs, etc. I have some custom ones that I want to use instead. In BB, I used to go to bbdef.sh file and just set the tests that I do not want to run to FALSE. Is there such a config file in hobbit.

No. I had not anticipated this scenario, so it isn't configurable. What you *can* do is to modify the hobbit client script on your servers: * If you leave out the "[uptime]" section, you will disable the "cpu" status. * if you leave out the "[df]" section, you will disable the "disk" status. * If you leave out the "[procs]" section, you will disable the "procs" status. * If you leave out the memory section(s) - names vary across operating systems - then you will disable the "memory" status. * The "msgs" status can be disabled by not configuring any logs for this host, and running hobbitd_client with the --no-clear-msgs option. The custom scripts you're using - are they specific to your setup, or are they generally useful ? If the latter, let me know how I can improve the current tests. Regards, Henrik

I envision a day where I can click on a host and there are check boxes for each test and I can just enable/disable any test by clicking the appropriate check box. This could be expanded to alarms, thresholds, etc... But as Henrik has already said, the whole html thing needs a re-write anyway.
