[hobbit] drop test not sticking...

[Benjamin Gagnon]

I have been trying to hide the following 4 columns....

msgs, files, procs and ports

None of those have a "no" option.

Benjamin

P.S.  The only way I can get those columns to disappear is by using the group-only and group-except tags (or hacking the client script - see below).  NOCOLUMNS + bb drop does not work for me at all (see my previous message).

Since these are standard tests, as long as
you have the host itself listed in the bb-hosts file, they will re-appear
unless you use the “no<test>” tag – noconn noprocs
nports, etc – as outlined in the help files. Use those tags at the appropriate
level in the bb-hosts file and all will be well.

Thank you very much for
your solution.  I have dropped both procs and ports so far.  



I hacked the hobbit-client-<OS>.sh script on the client, restarted the
client then dropped the tests once again from the server.  Those 2 tests
are now gone.



I'm not sure how to get rid of msgs and files though.  Doesn't appear to
be any entry for these in the hobbit-client-<OS>.sh script. 
Anyone?  There are no uncommented FILE or LOG entries in the client's
localclient.cfg or in the server's hobbit-clients.cfg files.



I'm confused as to why it is so difficult to remove standard client-side tests
that I do not wish to perform at this point in time.

To remove a test:

1)Remove the test from the configuration file for the server that is running 

the test (so that no new data is generated)

2)Drop the test (to prevent the test from going purple now that it receives no 

data)



However, note that the ports test is not run from the Hobbit server, the ports 

data is supplied by the client ...



If you were dropping the entire host, this would make sense, but I can't see 

why you would want to drop the ports test for one host (and ... this is a bit 

tricky). Maybe you can explain?



You could accomplish this by hacking up the hobbit-client-<OS>.sh script
on 

the client.

Buchan
