[hobbit] Access to Xymon data via library functions?

[Husemann, Harald]

Hi,

for Perl, there is a library called "Hobbit_fd_lib". I found it along 
with dbcheck.pl, which we use for database checking - I don't know if 
it's only a part of dbcheck, or a stand-alone lib. Nevertheless, it 
seems to be useful (although I never used it in my own scripts, since 
these were all ported from old-style BB).
Another possible solution could be bbhostshow or bbhostgrep, or the 
already mentioned hobbit dashboard.

Btw.: Nice idea to have the hobbit config in a database, I've also 
thought about this...
