Hi,
I had added a test that after some thinking was not reaally needed. I decided to delete it, and its history. I looked at tips and tricks, and tried to run '~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME dns" ', which did not work apparently. So I went into the ~/data directory, and deleted in hist, histlogs and logs all the data concerning this test. However, on the main page, I still had the test, which was no longer updated, but still existed.
It took me some time to find that in ~/server/tmp/ there is a file named hobbitd.chk which does not disappear when you stop/start hobbit. Deleting this file apparently forced hobbit to recreate it, and this time my deleted test had disappeared.
Is that the expected behaviour ?
Regards, and keep up the great work you re doing on Hobbit.

It should have worked. Note that it may take up to one minute before it disappears from the web page (they only get refreshed once a minute when bbgen runs).

This file holds the information that Hobbit normally keeps in memory while running - e.g. the latest color of each status, when it was last updated etc. The whole point of this file is to maintain the current status across a restart of Hobbit.

Obviously, since your test was no longer being reported to hobbitd.

The core issue here is why the "drop" command did not work. The most common reason for this, I'm sorry to say, is mis-typing of the host- or column-name.
