You could add additional bb-host entries, and then put the receiver as an additional BBHOST
Thanks, but that's not going to work.
The sender is getting the Enable/Disable state of about 1000 hosts spread over 30 BigIP load balancers. It adds up to about 3500 reports, of which maybe 90 are going to be red because the bozos that do the configuration lag behind reality. In addition, 3 or 4 hosts are listed in two BigIPs - enabled in one, disabled in the other - so they flip/flop between red and green about every few minutes.
The receiver is our principal Hobbit server, it has maybe 750 hosts, about 3000 reports, so this other stuff would more than double its load.
Personally I think it would be ridiculous to show an always-red-dot for the summary, and then have the monitoring folks click through it anyway, but that's what I'm being asked to provide. As the monitoring guys usually only have the "all non-green" view up, the summary needs to show up there to be useful.
