[hobbit] XyMon client for Windows - XyWin.Net

[Neil Franken]

Hi There

We have a plug in for bbwin that we created called SQLMon. It allows you
to configure sql scripts to run for testing anything on MSSQL. I use it
to monitor my servers. We want to release it as open source. Maybe you
would like the code to incorporate into your system. It is written in
C#. With this plug-in we monitor replication status, performance
counter, sql transactions per second and so. If you can write a query
and define green, yellow or red status in a simple xml file you can
monitor it with this. While being used for bbwin it can help you lay out
the foundation for SQL specific tests.

Would you be interested?

Regards
neil

Bless you for taking this on, Fred.  It will offer a more capable
alternative to BBWin, which can still be used where it meets
requirements
and a .Net footprint is not desirable.

On your "about" page, where you say "formally Hobbit", I think you meant
to write "formerly".
