How does Hobbit handle the disabling of tests in a multi-DISPLAY server environment? Typically in the legacy Big Brother environment, I had to either disable test on each display server, or just tell people to ignore alerts on the satellite DISPLAYs and only pay attention to the main server where I would actually "blue" things out. Ultimately I would like to have an accurate view on each DISPLAY, but this would involve somehow propogating a disable command down the line.
So I guess the real question is, if I disable alerts on Satellite DISPLAY A (running Hobbit right now), will that alert then start showing up as purple on Main DISPLAY (running Big Brother), unless I disable it there as well?
I plan to eventually migrate all of the displays to Hobbit, but that won't happen all at once.

The Hobbit enable/disable tool sends the enable/disable commands to all of the servers listed in the BBDISPLAYS setting in hobbitserver.cfg. So if you have that setup in your config, it will automatically propagate to all of the servers.
Note that when using multiple servers, it is recommended that you have the local server FIRST in the list of servers in BBDISPLAYS.
