I think it's a good idea. The "cpu" column really is a bit overloaded;
it tracks cpu utilisation, it tracks reboots, and with the hobbit
client it also warns if the system clock goes astray.

However, the display can get a bit crowded with all of the things we
monitor now. So I'm thinking that maybe it would be nice to also
implement a kind of status column which is only visible when it isn't
green - or perhaps until it's been green for some time. The "reboot"
status would be a prime candidate for such a status - you normally dont
care about it, but when it happens you might want to be made aware of
it.




Excellent idea. Dynamic column!! Wow. It would help a lot with my crowded
columns .  Ofcourse a red alert will make me aware of it if I choose it to
show up only at red. I would like to see the same feature for `msgs' column.
Also may be a button or something to show static view with all columns and
(default) dynamic view.

Another way of getting the display less crowded would be to have 
"collapsible" columns, i.e. several statuses would be collapsed into a
single red/green/yellow "dot" on the webpage.




It is a pretty good idea too, unless you have a static/dynamic button as I
mentioned above.

I think dynamic view fits better with hobbit :-)


Just some ideas.
