Wait.... will this cause some of my monitors that aren't a part of the spec= ial bb-hosts file to go purple while the BBHOSTS variable is set to the alt= ernate file? I wanted to avoid any impact on the monitoring system's tests,= etc.
No, the BBHOSTS variable is only set for the task that generates the report. Leave all of your normal configuration files untouched; but create the new report-layout-bb-hosts file "bb-hosts.report". Then run the report from a script like this:
#!/bin/sh BBHOSTS=/home/xymon/server/etc/bb-hosts.report export BBHOSTS bbgen <<the options you you normally use to build the report>>
