We can use that, yes, but when we are disabling a host for a reboot that has 50+ services on it, it's a little time consuming to go to 50+ different info pages. Rather I just disable everything on a specific page.

Can't the info column be used to handle this until a more appropriate fix is introduced? Assuming you have the patch it disables the test and does it on a hostname basis rather than a page one.

This is almost good enough. It however doesn't filter on the pagename. We have many services on different pages. We have them listed out by O/S and Service, so things appear on multiple pages. Ideally, if we want to take down an entire O/S (for patching), or a service, we can go to that page and disable all the services on that page. However with the bug in place we cannot. Going ahead with the suggestion below requires us to filter on each host listed (which can be long).

What we're doing until the bug is fixed is placing the primary definition on a page that we would most likely disable the test for, like rebooting a service for patches.

Thanks.

Hi,

I think this was handled in the past (see http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/07/msg00236.html )

Install the actual All-in-one-patch and add the --no-cookies switch in hobbitcgi.cfg

hobbit-enadis.cgi options

CGI_ENADIS_OPTS="--no-cookies --env=/opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg"

For me it works fine.

I notice in the man page for hobbit-enadis.cgi there is this at the end:

BUGS

When using alternate pagesets, hosts will only show up on the Enable/Disable page if this is accessed from the primary page in which they are defined. So if you have hosts on multiple pages, they will only be visible for disabling from their main page which is not what you would expect.

I'm just curious if anyone knows when that might be fixed.

Thanks.
