[hobbit] Re: Process monitoring

[rdeal]

For our DBA team here we have a separate page for them with the same hosts
listed but only for the things they are interested in viewing such as procs,
mysql, msgs, postgres, disk, memory, oratns...

The same hosts show up on the unix page with the other tests listed there.

We do this by listing the hosts twice in the bb-hosts file, once with
everything under the unix (or windows server) page and once with just #
noconn under the Database page.
You can then also use the group-only command to limit the columns to list on
each.

We do the same thing for our web teams systems.
