I divided our bunch of computers in several logical groups using one
master bb-hosts-file, using (see bb-hosts-man page) include-files.
The dispinclude (one word) could be read as "disp(lay) include". Now
I have a page for each SLA (a page with Solaris, Linux, etc that
build up a SLA), but I also have a view/page with the all Solaris- boxes only, Linux-boxes only etc..

The bbtest won't turn yellow anymore, if you have setup everything
correctly using (disp)include: "TAGS RECOGNIZED BY ALL TOOLS

include filename This tag is used to include another file into the bb-hosts file at
run-time, allowing for a large bb-hosts file to be split up into more
manageable pieces. The "filename" argument should point to a file that uses the same
syntax as bb-hosts. The filename can be an absolute filename (if it
begins with a '/'), or a relative filename - relative filenames are
prefixed with the directory where the main bb-hosts file is located
(usually $BBHOME/etc/). You can nest include tags, i.e. a file that is included from the main
bb-hosts file can itself include other files.

dispinclude filename Acts like the "include" tag, but only on the BBDISPLAY server. Can be
used e.g. to put a group of hosts on multiple subpages, without
having to repeat the host definitions.

netinclude filename Acts like the "include" tag, but only on the BBNET server. "

Hi all

Have been using BB and now Hobbit for quite some time now and have
finally decided to start looking at breaking up some of our hosts
into multiple pages and sub pages etc.

I've had a look through the man pages etc on how you go about
defining hosts in multiple pages. From what I can see you just
define it where you want and put a prefer tag against one of them
(of course I may be wrong but thats what I figured) It works fine
they both appear on both pages, but the bbtest goes yellow and says
host xyz is defined multiple times this may cause strange results.
Also not sure what happens when an alert occours.

Can someone let me know if this would be the right way of doing it
as we have a few hosts that have multiple functions so we want to
make sure theyre easy to find in a few categories

Cheers

Allan
