[hobbit] Ack problems

[Scott Wilson]

Really?  I just went through all of the various report web pages from a 
variety of starting pages (main view, sub page, non-green) and they all 
are exactly the same.

One odd note... is for the "Config report" page, it has "1 hosts 
included", and that happens to the the same host that is currently showing 
on my Ack page.  (Even though I'm pretty sure there are others that should 
also show up.)


OK that got me thinking about cookies... It does set a cookie whenever you 
look at a specific host/service page.  And that's the only thing that 
shows up when you go to acknowledge pages.  But I tend to acknowledge 
directly after getting my page, and don't often look at the host/service 
pages except when looking for graphs or historical information.

Reading up on bb-ack, --no-cookies is the behavior I wanted.  Set that, 
and now everything is working the way I originally expected.

Hurm... except now that page is kinda spammy looking.  Is there a way to 
set it to only show non-acknowledged stuff?  It shows things even if there 
is already a "check" on the main screen.

One thing I notice, is that from reading the docs, it seems to imply that 
if I'm looking at my main page before going to the Ack page, the Ack page 
should show all non-green hosts on that page.  But it doesn't, it only 
shows the last host that I looked at a host/service page for.  Going to 
subpages shows the same thing.

Do others see that same behavior?

It looks like my options are either A) one host at a time, whichever host 
you last looked at a specific service or B) all yellow/red/purple 
statuses.
