Hello Henrik
I have now installed the Hobbit 4.2 alfa realease on my test system.
Is the msgs colum msgs always green ? How can i define which string is yellow or red ?
In which file are the NK definition saved ? Is it possible to edit this file ? Is there any Report to see which Systems are in the NK view and which status is given (Prio etc.) ?
Still see have the problem with double entrys in pagessets. Is this also a point in your TODO list for 4.2 ?
A idea from a office workmate was that a user can compose his own bb-view/bb2-view. So an user has the possiblity to make a windowview with exactly the Systems that he need.
Regards, Roland

It's been close to 6 months since I last released a version of Hobbit with new features and improvements, so I am making an alfa version available for more widespread testing.
It's been uploaded to Sourceforge now, and will be available shortly at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128058&package_id=140...
The main features of this release are:
- Client logfile monitoring has been implemented (at last!)
- A completely new "Critical Systems" view with a separate configuration file and web-based GUI for editing it.
- All configuration files now support the "include" directive. In addition, you can include entire directories with a single "directory" statement in the config file.
- Acknowledgments now stay around for a while after the status goes OK, so if a service crashes after a few minutes, the acknowledgment is automatically revived.
- DOWNTIME can be applied to individual statuses.
- Performance improvements throughout all of the Hobbit core tools.
There has been a lot of internal code improvements, and it is almost guaranteed that I have broken something along the way. So the primary purpose of this alfa release is to sniff out those regressions and make sure that they get fixed before the final release.
Documentation on the new features is still being worked on, but there are some preliminary docs included that should get you started. Use the mailing lists if you need help.
And last, but certainly not least, I am thrilled to see that some of you have taken up the challenge of improving Hobbit by providing add-on modules:
- Devmon (SNMP testing): http://devmon.sf.net
- BBWin, an Open-Source Windows client: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwin
So lots of things for you to test.
Thanks for your help.
Regards, Henrik
