Hi
There are three ways to achieve this, as I understand it.
Probably the easiest, is to set up a new page definition in the bb-hosts listing these servers. Because they will also appear elsewhere, you will have to add the noconn directive to the second entry in bb-hosts. (See man pages for bb-hosts) You can then monitor only these select systems by having your browser point to that page. Cheap and chearful. Easy to implement, but probably not quite what you want.
You could also configure these select few as "critical systems" and use the critical systems page to monitor them. (See critical systems under the help menu option) Slightly more difficult to implement, but will give you the goods.
Alternatively, you can set up a new non-green page for just that specific list of systems. Look here for more information. http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/05/msg00121.html
You will need to define a new hobbitserver.cfg and a bb-hosts file for each new view, but the results are worth it. If you go with this method, you might find it easier to define your main bb-hosts as include /path/bb-hosts.group1 include /path/bb-hosts.group2 include /path/bb-hosts.group3 include /path/bb-hosts.group4
And then define each group in these files. The custom view as defined above, would then use /path/bb-hosts.group3 as the custom bb-hosts. I use this method to generate a seperate view for our different teams. It's more difficult to implement, but worth the effort in the long run, particularly if you have multiple groups with their own subset of "critical" systems.
Option 1 will show you all servers, all tests. The other two options will only show you what is broken (not green).
Hope that helps.
Regards Vernon

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
I need a costumized view of selected machines. Is it possible to only show alert machines, from a selected group?
For excample, I have 4 main groups in my Hobbit server. Now, I only would like to see the red marked machines from main folder3, but not any machine from main folder1, -2 and -4.
