[hobbit] Monitoring processes in a Service Guard environment

I basicly run a bbclient with my cluster ressource groups. The trick is 
to customize the etc/bbaliasname file to the same as the cluster 
address. This works very well for apache, mysql and normal cpu/process 
monitoring.

I expect the same would be possible with a hobbit client.

Now - it is impossible to predict which system in the cluster will have the critical processes active.  The Service Guard managed pseudo hostname and IP address, as well as disk, processes, etc. may be on any system in the cluster at any time. I run a client on each system in the cluster, but cannot monitor the processes effectively.
