> 
> Hobbit is a systems- and network-monitoring system, designed to handle
> large networks with thousands of hosts. However, it is also simple to
> setup and extremely light-weight, so using it on a small network with
> just a few servers is also possible.
> 
> Hobbit lets you monitor network services - e.g. Web-, mail-, LDAP- and
> DNS-servers - by sending them full requests and checking if the
> response is as expected.
> 
> Clients can be installed on the monitored hosts to collect performance
> metrics, e.g. cpu-, disk- and memory-utilisation.
> 
> All data is available via an easy-to-use web-based interface, both the
> current real-time state of the services, and the historical
> information about past events. Graphs of the collected data are
> automatically generated and available immediately.
> 
> A live demonstration of the Hobbit monitor can be found at the
> authors' website, http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/
> 
> A flexible alert mechanism allows for events to trigger alerts via
> e-mail, or you can easily integrate a pager mechanism to alert you of
> problems. Alerts can be customised to match the business requirements,
> so you can monitor hosts on a 24x7 basis, or using whatever schedule
> is appropriate.
> 
> Hobbit builds on the popular "bbgen" tools previously distributed as
> an add-on to the "Big Brother" monitor from Quest Software, but is a
> complete re-design and re-implementation of the monitoring server.
> Hobbit does not require any previous Big Brother installation, but if
> you have used Big Brother previously, you can easily migrate to
> Hobbit.
> 
> Hobbit is Open Source software, released under the GNU GPL license.
