Hi
Im am a sysadmin fo a ISP tipe environment. We have been using Nagios as our
monitoring tool. I do admit that I like Nagios and prefer Nagios over using
the Hobbit. Unfortuanately some people with too much say in our organisation
decided to use Hobbit. These people are big hobbit fans and I even found them
on mailing lists trying to convince Nagios users to switch to hobbit. Since
one of my main functions is maintaining the monitoring environment, this
decision was a bit of a let down.
Hobbit is easier to configure, I give you that. We are running Nagios and
Hobbit side by side and obviously when new servers are build nagios is left
out and the kickstarts are built to install hobbit. But I could do some
comparisons and I started collecting data that makes hobbit look not so
reliable as Nagios. Nagios also has some functionality that I could not find
in hobbit.
I have never been on any hobbit mailing list. Since the decision was made, and
that is now the road we are going. I would like to see some
changes/additions, or make some suggestions to the hobbit. Where can I send
my suggestions to?
I am currently a bit anti hobbit, for good reason, but that could change, I
hope.
Regards
CJ
