Disabled systems view 🔗 link

It might be a good feature to have a display to see which systems are disabled.

Maybe hang a menu item off the view menu, and display it like the non-green systems, but without the event log.

You can see which systems are disabled in the "All non-green view".  I guess it's possible that you could have hosts that are disabled, but were not disabled recently, so they are not on that list.  In this case you can view them via:

https://hobbitserver/hobbit-cgi/bb-eventlog.sh?MAXTIME=&FROMTIME=&TOTIME=&MAXCOUNT=100&HOSTMATCH=&EXHOSTMATCH=&PAGEMATCH=&EXPAGEMATCH=&TESTMATCH=&EXTESTMATCH=&COLORMATCH=blue&Send=View+log 

That is basically the eventlog report, selecting only blue colors, which will give you a similar view to the "all non-green view", but only show blue.  You could edit the menu.js file and add that URL to the menu, or tell your admins "go to eventlog and search for blue".

P.S. If the admins are bad about ignoring or disabling things and leaving them that way, you can add a hobbit-alerts rule so that if a status is non-green for a long time period (a week?), then an alert is sent :-)  I use this feature to alert if anything is yellow for over a week continuously, because by then it either needs to be fixed, or the alert thresholds need to be tweaked.

Are you using gnu make (should be under /usr/sfw/bin/gmake is using
solaris 10) or Sun's make (/usr/ccs/bin/make)?  you need to be using gnu
make.
