[hobbit] New feature request for Bbgen / Xymon?

I have run into similar problems and the only way (without coding changes) around it is to set up some sub pages that group a number of tests together ( eg environmental stats, app stats) and then use the group-only directive to specify which pages show which tests. You would then end up with a page at the top that lists your various tests eg:

OperatingSystem Application Environmental

And then on each page, the same hosts but with the different tests.

The alerts all flow upwards, so from the front page you can still see if something is wrong. (Or you could open three browser windows with each window displaying a different page.)

I understand your issue but hobbit inherently works to produce a list of hosts with columns of tests.

I have a page of 4 hosts and 35 custom tests plus the normal client tests so over 40 columns. Any way to invert this to have just the 4 hosts on the top and the 40+ tests down the side? As it is today it just doesn't fit/format right on the screen and is hard to view. I wonder if anyone else has run into this one?

Example: The normal Xymon view looks like this

        test1    test2    test3    test4    test5    test6    test7

test8 test9 test10 test11 test12 test13 test14 test15 test16 test17 test18 test19 test20

host1

host2

host3

host4

Any way to put the hosts on the columns to look like this:

        host1    host2    host3    host4

test1

test2

test3

test4

test5

test6

test7

test8

test9

test10

test11

test12

test13

test14

test15

test16

test17

test18

test19

test20
