RE: [hobbit] Xymon hosts database.

Hello,

Having a GUI to easily populate bb-hosts and hobbit-alerts would certainly give a great push forward to Xymon.  So yes, I am 100% sure there is interest!

As a first step, I don't think we need all the neat features available in the file-based configuration, it would only be a simplified tool for sub-groups local administrators and/or users that are starting with Xymon.

I made some projects with this framework (http://extjs.com) and this is indeed a very good platform.  And as of v2.1, it is licensed under the GPLv3 license.

Yes it certainly can.  The front-end is using a independent "data store" that is populated on the back-end with the most suitable technology for you.

Don't have mush time to invest in such a project but I would be very interested to be kept informed and maybe give some limited help whenever possible.

Apache, MySQL, PHP and ExtJS are for sure very good choices today.

Have a great day.
