An update to this... I can see in the code that it should support group-only, but it doesn't appear to work very well.
I haven't been able to find any changes yet that will make it work, though - but my regex isn't as sharp as most people's seem to be :-)

Everything else appears to work well with BB1.9c/BBgen 3.5, though!

Here's another one...

You do not appear to have any support for the "group-only" directive.

This works like group-compress, but you list exactly which services to display for the hosts included in the group.

EG:

group-only test1|test2|test3|test4|test5 Servers Group

This facilitates having hosts with more tests than comfortably fit on a single line in the display to be split among multiple lines, or which have services that only apply to a specific page grouping.

An example I have is a database server with a dozen different databases each monitored by bb-moracle, but producing their own dot. I split the server to have an 'OS-Tests' line and a 'Database-Tests' line in the display. This is performed with group-only.

Hi Thomas, thanks for helping test out the script :)

...

1. If the a line starts with #, it is a comment. The script reports me a syntax-error I added the following lines: ---snip---

   Exclude Comments

   elsif($item =~ /^#/) { next; } ---snap---

Ahh, I was handling comments incorrectly (if they had whitespace before them on a line they were being parsed, instead of ignored).
Now fixed.

...

2. I included one host on more than one page, so the script reports me about already definded host. To get a step forward, I comment out the part in the sctipt.

Now I see the subpages, but no hosts. I can add hosts to the subpage. I already tried to make a script, that builds the bb-hosts from a MySQL-Database. I got it never finished, because of all the possible combinations :(

If you comment out the line that reads in hosts, its to be expected that you wont see any on the pages/subpages :) I assumed (yet another possibly incorrect assumption on my part) that you couldn't have the same hostname defined in two places in your bigbrother/hobbit hierarchy; I'll have to play around with this some to see how bigbrother behaves. Hopefully, I'll have a patch out in an hour or so.
