Hi,

I have some multipurpose hosts (mail, dns, ldap) I want to display under differents pages.

From the same client that reports dnsload, gets polled for dns, ldap,
smtp, I want them to be shown as :

smtp1 (main hostname) on the "mail servers" page
ldap1 on the "ldap servers" page
dns1 on the "dns servers" page

I tried :

10.1.1.1	smtp1	# prefer     smtp ldap dns pop3 pop3s
10.1.1.1	smtp1	# NAME:ldap1 smtp ldap dns pop3 pop3s noconn
10.1.1.1	smtp1	# NAME:dns1  smtp ldap dns pop3 pop3s noconn

but no luck, they are shown under their real name, smtp1, on all pages.
Is it possible to do such a thing ?

I believe it should/could be done by 'host alias'. There is a thread on this
not too long ago. basically, all tests done on first real one. Aliases is
inserted to bb-hosts as '0.0.0.0 smtp1 # noconn name:dns" with 'group-only'.

Hi,

I tried what you sugested and also tried what the previous discussion
states, but the hosts still ignores COMMENT or NAME tags. It show under
the first name.

Here is what I had in my bb-hosts for a Hobbit 4.2 on CentOS 4.4. Enclosed a
PNG showing the resulted MAIN-VIEW.

group-only http "web service"
0.0.0.0   localhost      # noconn name:www

re-read your message, it seemed that NAME: is not honored for HOST aliases.
A bug, maybe?

So we have the same result : the name:www clause is not
honored and localhost is displayed on both places.

You need to put all the tests under one entry, and "noconn" for the rest.
Then use "group-only" and 'group-except" to control what is displayed on
each page. I don't think there is a way to change the name for each entry.
You can search the list archives for more information, this topic has come
up before quite a few times.

Thanks,
Larry Barber

hmm, IMHO, name:JustALabel  should be honored even for host aliases, for the
sake of consistency, or as a feature if you may.
