Does anyone know of a simple way, maybe in the bb-hosts file to suppress tests? I'd like to suppress the "info" and "conn" and a few other custom test column names, for some, but not all clients.

"noconn noinfo" for the host in bb-hosts, for the custom tests, you have to make them awae of "nomytest" tags. How you do that depends on how the script is made.

As an example, I have a test called "kind" that runs on the hobbit server and does checks for all machines with real IP-adresses (that is, all lines that begin with a number between 1 and 9 in bb-hosts) except those with "nokind".

#! /bin/bash BBHTAG=kind COLUMN=${BBHTAG} ${BBHOME}/bin/bbhostshow | ${GREP} '^[1-9]' | while read L do set ${L} echo ${L} | ${GREP} -q -w no${BBHTAG} && continue

HOSTIP="${1}" MACHINEDOTS="${2}" MACHINE="${MACHINEDOTS//./,}"

COLOR="green" SUMMARY="OK"

MSG=$(${PERL} ${BBHOME}/ext/kind.pl ${MACHINEDOTS} ${HOSTIP})

Replace OK/WARNING/FATAL with corresponding color dots

MSG=$(echo "${MSG}" | ${SED} 's:^OK:\&green:g ; s:^WARNING:\&yellow:g ; s:^FATAL:\&red:g')

echo "${MSG}" | ${GREP} -q "&yellow" && COLOR="yellow" && SUMMARY="Not OK" echo "${MSG}" | ${GREP} -q "&red" && COLOR="red" && SUMMARY="Error"

${BB} ${BBDISP} "status ${MACHINE}.${COLUMN} ${COLOR} $(date): ${SUMMARY}

${MSG}" done exit 0
