Doc - Hobbit

Hobbit is a system for monitoring servers and networks. It has a great deal of inspiration from the Big Brother monitor, but unlike Big Brother it is designed to work well whether you need to monitor small network with just a handful of hosts, or large networks with thousands of hosts.

Hobbit monitors your hosts, your network services, and anything else you configure it to do via extensions. Hobbit will periodically generate requests to network services - http, ftp, smtp and so on - and record if the service is responding as expected. Through the use of agents installed on the servers, you can also monitor local disk utilisation, logfiles and processes.
