Hi Henrik,

I applied your patch and recompiled hobbit, but the "Metrics Report" for example still shows all of the servers in the main bb-hosts file, rather than the bb-hosts-cust file that the subpage uses to generate the /hobbit/custweb directory.  (/hobbit-cgi/hobbit-hostgraphs.sh)

Here's the diff:

It grabs it from the Hobbit server, using the "hobbitdboard" command.
Done in the lib/headfoot.c "fetch_board()" code, which is eventually
used to build the "&HOSTLIST" output that is included into the
hostgraphs_form output.

I hadn't thought about the need to filter the hobbitdboard output
to include only the hosts included in a stripped-down version of the
bb-hosts file, but it's very easy to do that.

You need to make a small code-change. In the lib/headfoot.c file
there's a "fetch_board()" routine. Line 327 of that file (in the
4.2.0 version) looks like this:
    if (hname && wanted_host(hname)) {
Change that to
     if (hname && wanted_host(hname) && hostinfo(hname)) {
This will check that the hostname exists in the bb-hosts file, 
and skip data from un-defined hosts.


Regards,
Henrik
