[hobbit] not getting ssh status for any host

I think your best scenario is one where you divorce yourself from the idea of placing a single host's status across multiple pages.

For instance, in an installation with a couple thousand hosts, I too would like to have a page where I could just have my conn status and subpages filled with the rest of what I'm monitoring.  However, I think you're asking a little much of the system (unless Henrik wants to correct me)     :)

What I've found myself doing most is grouping my hosts logically into subpages and sorting by function.  Once into the subpage, then all statuses are completely viewable and available. 

I will say this, though, I use the "All Non-Green" view more than anything else in Hobbit/Xymon.  It is our dashboard and our lifeline throughout the day.  We've caught a ton of things that other monitors have missed or fallen short on via that page.

Perhaps looking at the system a different way will give you the coverage you need.

Wish I could be of more help.
