[hobbit] Disabled systems view

[Charles Jones]

You can see which systems are disabled in the "All non-green view".  I 
guess it's possible that you could have hosts that are disabled, but 
were not disabled recently, so they are not on that list.  In this case 
you can view them via:

https://hobbitserver/hobbit-cgi/bb-eventlog.sh?MAXTIME=&FROMTIME=&TOTIME=&MAXCOUNT=100&HOSTMATCH=&EXHOSTMATCH=&PAGEMATCH=&EXPAGEMATCH=&TESTMATCH=&EXTESTMATCH=&COLORMATCH=blue&Send=View+log

That is basically the eventlog report, selecting only blue colors, which 
will give you a similar view to the "all non-green view", but only show 
blue.  You could edit the menu.js file and add that URL to the menu, or 
tell your admins "go to eventlog and search for blue".

P.S. If the admins are bad about ignoring or disabling things and 
leaving them that way, you can add a hobbit-alerts rule so that if a 
status is non-green for a long time period (a week?), then an alert is 
sent :-)  I use this feature to alert if anything is yellow for over a 
week continuously, because by then it either needs to be fixed, or the 
alert thresholds need to be tweaked.
