remove sslcert test (included with the https test)

[Dennis Ortsen]

Hi All,

I'm setting up Hobbit for the first time (v4.2.0) At the moment we're
using Big Sister, but we're looking for something with better
performance and ease of use.

I have set up some tests on several hosts. One of the checks I'm using
is the https check. That all works well, a green smiley is displayed.
The neat thing with the https check is that it also checks the
expirydate of your SSL certificate (sslcert test). Here's what I'm
looking for:

I want to remove the sslcert test for a certain number of hosts. We
use a traffic manager that holds all the real SSL certificates, we're
using a self signed, expired certificate on the hosts in question.
Hobbit warns me with a red sslcert status that the certificate has
expired. I know I can disable the the test (turns the smiley into a
blue one), but that's not what I want.

I have als tried to drop the sslcert test (server/bin/bb localhost
"drop hostname sslcert") and add the NOCOLUMNS:sslcert tag for the
host in question in the bb-hosts file. The NOCOLUMNS tag works for
other statusses (white) but when a status is red, I can't seem to
remove the sslcert test. It keeps coming back in a short while after I
dropped the test with the bb command.

Have I overseen something here?

Thanks,

Dennis
