adding a view for disabled (blue) systems, similiar to the non-green view
Was asked to add a new option to the view pull down menu called "Disabled Systems", which would be exactly the same as the Non-green view except show all of the systems with blue instead of red & yellow.
I know this data is generated by the cgi-bin/hobbit-nongreen.sh script, so I created another one called hobbit-blue.sh and had it filter on blue colors. It grabs the correct host data, but I guess I need it to be run through bbgen for the webpage to be rendered properly and to produce something like a bb2.html.
Is there an easier way to accomplish this w/o having to patch the hobbit source code (bbgen.c, process.c)?
Thanks,
Tom

Short answer: No.
Building the normal webpages is deeply embedded in bbgen. It would be really nice to move it out of there, and into a dynamic webpage where you could directly select which data is used to build the page. That's not possible now.
Historically, bbgen is the oldest piece of Hobbit, and this does show in the code :-)
