had written a few custom tests that would grep through the bb status logs for a group of hosts matching color purple, it would then report what it found and bb would send out an alert based on the results. This allowed me to monitor the status of our remote offices, if it went down I would receive a sms page.

The equivalent of "grepping through the bb status logs" would be the hobbitdboard command.

 server/bin/bb localhost hobbitdboard | grep purple

The format of the information is:

 hostname|test|color|.....

All you need to do is reformat that so it fits into your existing BB script....
