I'm just pondering on if it's possible to move the tests relate to the hobbit-server to a dummy host on a different page. The problem is that the machine has so many test that I now have to scroll sideways on my laptop, which is annoying.
The only tests that my hobbit-server box doesnt share with other machines are the hobbit-server related tests bbd, bbgen, bbtest and hobbitd, so I wish to put them on a "Hobbit"-dummy host under a "Surveylance" page.
Is there a "clean" wy to do this?
I started off by moving bbd in bbclients, but then I had to add "hobbit" to the 127.0.0.1 entry in /etc/hosts for the check to work out :)

Put the current entry for the hobbit server inside a "group-only" definition, listing only the standard columns. Then add a second definition for the Hobbit server elsewhere, perhaps inside a "group-except" definition to remove the standard columns.

OK, thanks!
I found out about this and more in the bbgen man page :)
However, now the bbnet check keeps flapping yellow with :
Error output: Host bigbrother.uninett.no appears twice in bb-hosts! This may cause strange results
bb-hosts has:
page uninett-bb Overvåkning group-only bbgen|bbtest|hobbitd|muninserver <b>Overvåkning</b> 0.0.0.0 bigbrother.uninett.no # NAME:Hobbit COMMENT:"Dette er en test" noconn noinfo bbd muninserver
page uninett-viktig Viktige UNINETT-maskiner group-except bbd|bbgen|bbtest|hobbitd|muninserver <b>Viktige maskiner</b> 158.38.130.84 bigbrother.uninett.no # prefer ssh https://bigbrother.uninett.no/ https://munin.uninett.no/
Also, despite NAME: and COMMENT:, it still just outputs "bigbrother.uninett.no"
Version installed is 4.2-beta-20060605 still.. :/
Ideas?

Put ALL of your definitions on one host, the second one should ONLY be a placeholder. Like:
page uninett-bb Overvåkning group-only bbgen|bbtest|hobbitd|muninserver <b>Overvåkning</b> 0.0.0.0 bigbrother.uninett.no # noconn
page uninett-viktig Viktige UNINETT-maskiner group-except bbd|bbgen|bbtest|hobbitd|muninserver <b>Viktige maskiner</b> 158.38.130.84 bigbrother.uninett.no # prefer ssh https://bigbrother.uninett.no/ https://munin.uninett.no/ NAME:Hobbit COMMENT:"Dette er en test" noinfo bbd muninserver

Except that this is not what I aimed for in the first place, since it's then called "Hobbit" on both pages. Ah well... no big deal.
Thanks for quick replies :)
