Hi there,

Can anyone explain how you remove a column from Hobbit.  The ports and files
column is not needed and I would like to remove them?

Thanks in advance,

Regards
Shaun

Thanks for that Bengt.

Is there a way to globally apply it?

Hi !

http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/bbgen.1.html


COLUMN SELECTION OPTIONS
These options affect which columns (tests) are included in the webpages generated by bbgen.

--ignorecolumns=test[,test]
     The given columns will be completely ignored by bbgen when generating 
webpages. Can be used to generate reports where you eliminate some of the 
more noisy tests, like "msgs".

cheers,

Bengt,

I have tried this method but doesnt seem to take.

Here's the entry in the bb-host file.

subpage BLUHR HR Servers
group-except PORTS
group-compress HR Blue

I've tried
group-except PORTS
and
group-except ports

Any thoughts?  Does hobbit need a restart cause other changes to bbhosts
like removing a hosts dont require it?

Regards
Shaun

Hi Martin,

I did yes thanks,  in fact that was the first one I tried.  I ran the bbgen
command from the Hobbit server?  Not sure if that was correct?

Command run:
./bbgen --ignorecolumns=ports

I did however wonder if that needs to go into a config file as a set option?

Add this option in hobbitserver.cfg to your other options ..
.
.

# These determine some parts of how bbgen generates webpages
BBGENOPTS=
.
.
.


.. should work .. hope so ..

.. and of course /etc/init.d/hobbit force-reload ... or maybe restart ..
