Hi Henrik, thanks for the really good work you're doing with Hobbit! 
 
Do you think it will be possible to have an option on the content URL check to hide the URL and the output of the web page (and substitute the content with a simple OK status report) ? 
I mostly use the content check to control if some application server are up and running and the application is deployed correctly but in the report of the content page I see a really ugly screen (because it's badly formatted and so on) so it could be preferred to hide the result and only display an OK status if the content is good (or also a Not OK with the link if the content is wrong).

I'll go as far as to remove the actual content data from the display.
Removing the URL's completely is really hard, because they show up in
so many places - I actually did try and remove them, only to notice that
they show up directly on the HTTP responsetime graph.

So what you can do with the latest snapshot is to put a "HIDEHTTP" tag
on the host entry in bb-hosts, and this will keep all content data off
the content-check status pages. But the URL's will still be visible.


Regards,
Henrik

Great works :D 

Just to put some more idea it would be really good to get more option
like 
HIDEHTTPGREEN (only hide data when the page is green you get only the
error message/page when there's one)

Also it could be good to have an option to hide only the content or
content and URL (like now).

Thanks really much for the work on Hobbit!

Francesco
