Services listed multiple times on the info page
Hi,
for some systems some services are listed multiple times in the alerting table on the info page. E.g. conn and cpu are listed three times but http is listed only once. Though there is no different alerting configuration for the different services.
I couldn't figure out any negative effect yet. However it looks strange. Is there any known bug?
Best regards Thomas

Could you try running the command bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard host=HOSTNAME test=conn fields=hostname,testname,color"
for one of those hosts ? It should print out just a single line - if there are multiple lines that would be an error.
I've seen it happen on rare occasions, but haven't been able to track it down yet. It's one of those 'this cannot happen' things.

thanks for your response.
This problem seems to be simple problem when matching the hostname:
bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard host=manager test=conn fields=hostname,testname,color"
manager|conn|green managereval|conn|green managertest|conn|green
http is not checked for eval and test. So it prints out only one line:
bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard host=manager test=http fields=hostname,testname,color"
manager|http|green

manager|conn|green managereval|conn|green managertest|conn|green
This should be fixed already in the 4.2.2 RC1 - it wraps the hostname in "^...$" regex anchors so it should get data only from the exact hostname. In other words, it now queries using
bb 127.0.0.1 'hobbitdboard host=^manager$ test=conn fields=hostname,testname,color'
which should return only a single host.
It would be nice if you could verify that 4.2.2-RC1 fixes this. If you're reluctant to update all of your system to the RC, you can try just compiling it and then copy the web/hobbitsvc.cgi binary to your current ~hobbit/server/bin/ directory.

yes, this returns only one line.
I've compiled the new version and the problem is gone.
Thanks for your quick help.
