I guess my big question is where does a script such as hobbit-hostgraphs.sh grab its list of servers to show in the choice pane?
It grabs it from the Hobbit server, using the "hobbitdboard" command. Done in the lib/headfoot.c "fetch_board()" code, which is eventually used to build the "&HOSTLIST" output that is included into the hostgraphs_form output.
I hadn't thought about the need to filter the hobbitdboard output to include only the hosts included in a stripped-down version of the bb-hosts file, but it's very easy to do that.
You need to make a small code-change. In the lib/headfoot.c file there's a "fetch_board()" routine. Line 327 of that file (in the 4.2.0 version) looks like this: if (hname && wanted_host(hname)) { Change that to if (hname && wanted_host(hname) && hostinfo(hname)) { This will check that the hostname exists in the bb-hosts file, and skip data from un-defined hosts.
