I depends on what you want to plot.  AIX will always put as much as possible 
unused programs in the swap and use all available memory for file system 
cache.  So swap is never 0% and memory is always 100%.

We have plans to deploy hobbit to all are customers (+100 AIX boxes).  I also 
have plans to tune the hobbit client and server for AIX monitoring and write 
all kind of extra scripts (I already have scripts to monitor error report, 
lvm, printers, cupsd, HA/CMP, CPU, ...).  These scripts are written for bb 
and create graphs.  I have to port them to hobbit.

If you are interested in AIX specific stuff, let ne know.  An extra debugger 
is always welcome ;)
