That *might* be true if your Windows machines support MIB's that devmon
can read and if devmon has a device model for each server that you want
to monitor.  But devmon does not integrate with Hobbit the same way that
a Hobbit client does.  Since there is no "official" Hobbit client for
Windows, you have to go to a third party.  The Big Brother Windows
client works well, and the bbwin open source client also works (though
differently).  The bbwin client attempts to be more "Hobbit friendly"
that the Big Brother client.

You only need a client if you want to know about CPU, memory, disk,
processes, log files, etc.

hi all,

I am told that you do not necesarily have to install hobbit client onto
the client machines to monitor them...that you can use devmon snmp...so
am wondering if this can be true and if so how one can use this devmon
snmp to do that. My servers are linux machines and i need to monitor
windows machines.
Advice please. Thank you.
Alyn
