Howdy all,
I finally got my mrtg graphing problems fixed (I ended up just using mrtg to poll ifc traffic data, and tweaked hobbit-larrd a bit to work with my snmp data collector that collects cpu & error info).
Anyways, now that that is done, I had a some time to spend working on a gui hosts editor for hobbit/bigbrother (although the bigbrother support has not been tested, as I dont really have a bigbrother system to test it on any more).
This script should handle just about every option that the bb-hosts file supports, including nested file includes (include, dispinclude, etc), titles, groups, etc etc. Its still in a nascent phase at the moment, so I would strongly suggest backing up your host files somewhere safe before playing around with it (although the script also supports file archival, as well).
You can download the script at: http://www.nerdvana.org/eric/files/bb-hostedit-1.0.tar.gz
Please let me know what you think,
