Re: [hobbit] Docs for the PHB

Would this be the list??

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Hobbit/User_Guide#Who_use_Hobbit_.3F

Can't help much with the PHB thing - I'm working for a company where
the only blessed monitoring tool is CA Unicenter.  Oh, and BMC Patrol.
Oh, and NetCool.  Oh, and...  The only reason I'm getting away with
using Hobbit is that those other tools don't really seem to be able to
monitor web pages.

Up to a month ago I was using Big Brother, with a bunch of custom
scripts grabbing webpages to examine for "goodness".  Then the server
died - can't think why, after all, 6 years continuous uptime isn't all
that long... :)  That seemed like an excellent reason to cut over to
Hobbit that I was trying out on a different server.  I'm now
rehabilitating the old DL380 (with replacement power supply), but
wouldn't you just know it, the BB installation seems to be broken...

Hi all

I am trying to get my new company to give Hobbit a go. (I know full well
they will like it once they see it)
However, being a civil service department, everything needs to be
justified and proposed and planned and discussed, and nothing gets done
in a hurry.
Currently, I need to put together a document for my PHB proclaiming the
virtues and benefits of running Hobbit, and instead of reinventing the
wheel, I was wondering if any of you have already gone through this
process and either
        1. Have a document I can use as a starting point.
        2. Have some tips or pointers on how to approach this.

Also, a while back we all contributed towards a list of companies using
Hobbit.
Was that ever consolidated, saved and made available somewhere?

Regards
