Hi all,

I was just wandering around at the website of my hobbit installation and wanted to know, if there is a way to increase the time and events user-801b0d835d7c@xymon.invalid (... events received in the last ... minutes).
I didn't find a variable to set in the scripts.
And maybe there is also a trick not to have 2 columns displayed but only 1.

Thanks in advance
Torsten

The only way to change that is to modify the bbdisplay/pagegen.c file.
It has these two settings:

	int  bb2eventlogmaxcount = 100;
	int  bb2eventlogmaxtime = 240;

It could be done with an environment variable or a couple more options,
but noone has requested that until now, so ...

And maybe there is also a trick not to have 2 columns displayed but only 1.
That one is easy - it's the "--subpagecolumns=2" option for bbgen that does this. In the default setup, it comes from the BBGENOPTS setting in
hobbitserver.cfg.

Hi Henrik,

thanks for the answer.
That was exactly what I was looking for.
And yes an evironment variable would be nice but is not necessary when I know where to look :-)

I also changed BBGENOPTS to "...--subpagecolumns=1" but bb.html and the subpages still display 2 columns. :-(
How long does it take to reflect the changes?
I restarted hobbit but everything looks like before.

Regards
Torsten

The change should be immediate (or as soon as bbgen has run to refresh
the web pages, but that happens by default once a minute).

Check if the CMD setting for your [bbdisplay] task in hobbitlaunch.cfg
has this option as well - it did in the old days, so you may still have
it. I'd recommend that you make it 

        CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report

so it just uses the options from the BBGENOPTS setting.
