Yes, in bb-hosts you need to create a line like :
0.0.0.0 WebCluster # noconn

The comobotext.cfg will automaticaly get you an http "dot" by the Webcluster
on the page where you defined it.

p.s. : Take a look at /var/log/hobbit/combotext.log for syntax errors, and
remember to use a "\" before every "-" in the combotext.cfg file.

If you want to exclude a host or a service from trigreing alerts, you should
find the rule in hobbit-alerts.cfg which is relevant and exclude the
unwanted message accroding to the hobbit-alerts format (either
EXHOST=something or EXSERVICE=seomthing or catching this alert with a STOP
tag on the begining of the file)
There is a Hobbit wiki, here :

Enjoy :-)
