And going a step fruther, what about only displaying certain tags for a certain host and displaying other tags from that same host on a differnt page, without showing the first set.

For example, I'd like to have a page that shows all connection type info (smtp/http/ftp/etc.) and another page that shows collected data from the hobbit-client (cpu/mem/vmio/etc).

Is that possible? Or does hobbit display all or nothing about a host? I've been playing and searching for a few days about this with no luck. I hope I'm overlooking something obvious.

HI,

To do this you have to repeat the name of the host and use 0.0.0.0 and noconn like this:

0.0.0.0 host_repeated # noconn

What I want to do is have some hosts appear in a couple of different

Can this be done? If so, where should I look in the docs to figure it

By default, Hobbit displays everything about a host. But You can use the "group-only" and "group-except" directives to show only selected columns; see the bb-hosts(5) man-page for details.

thanks, Mario! I will try that out!

HI,
 
To do this you have to repeat the name of the host and use

0.0.0.0 and noconn like this: 0.0.0.0 host_repeated # noconn

also, it displays host1 (again, with every columns) as well as emailRelay (with SMTP column alone).

hmm, tried that. it works, only that bbtest for the hobbit server itself went Yellow & complains about duplicated hosts. any idea why? I have 1.2.3.4 host1 # noconn ssh http 0.0.0.0 host1 # noconn smtp name:emailRelay

Put all of your host definitions on one host entry, and let the others just be with "noconn".

1.2.3.4 host1 # noconn ssh http smtp name:emailRelay 0.0.0.0 host1 # noconn

Oh, and the "http" stuff really should be a full URL.
