We have several servers here of various type that are primarily DB servers. MY DBA, asked if I could create a page for him with all the DB servers on it.
Some of the machines are solaris and some are linux so they are primarily monitored by solaris and linux administrators and are on similar pages.
So I created a page like this:
page DB DB Servers
group-compress <font size="+2">DB Servers</font>
0.0.0.0 lemond.tigr.org # noconn NAME:SYBTIGR
since the DBA refers to the systems by the database names on each I was attempting to use the "NAME:" argument to change the display name.
It does not seem to work unless it is on the primary or preferred line in the bb-hosts file though.
The "COMMENT:" option also does not seem to work in this circumstance.

I'm afraid that is "by design", so it is not something that is easily fixed. My best suggestion is to put a COMMENT:SYBTIGR on the primary host entry for this host, and live with the fact that is shows up as
lemond.tigr.org (SYBTIGR)Hobbit considers duplicate host entries in bb-hosts as mere "placeholders", and ignores any tags placed on these. I do admit that in cases such as the one you have it would be useful to have this possibility, but it would take some work to implement.
