I remind you that I previously asked for a method to filter in
hobbit-alerts.cfg based on whether the test is a critical test (in it's
timeframe etc.).

The other problem I have with the critical view is the fact that (in
4.2.0 + the patch set from about one year ago) the "Config Report
(critical)" does not work, it displays nothing, even though "Config
Report" for the same page/host lists the details in the NK column.

We have just enabled passing events via a SCRIPT rule in
hobbit-alerts.cfg through to CA Unicenter (unfortunately with a
proprietary middleware).
