If you do this, you are using hobbit for inventory.  And I don't think that 
you want this.  Same for amount of memory.  Same for amount of NIC's.
This is _not_ monitoring, but inventory.

I'm not saying that you can not use hobbit for this, I'm saying that this is 
something you don't want in the default hobbit client.
What you _can_ do is put all the inventory information in 1 check. This check 
will never go not-red (same like the trends and info columns), but will be an 
inventory of the client.

fly.....)
