Who uses Hobbit?

I just added to the wiki yesterday and wonder about that for me too. I run a lot of pseudo host;
mostly markers for licenses and web pages.  Is that repeated (host)names or ips .  I wonder is anything can be done to "fix" this.  Maybe ignoring 0.0.0.0 ips?

The hosts count in bbgen is simply all the lines that look like hosts, including repeated names. 
I have a Hobbit server using a SOAP script to watch BigIP pools.  If a port in a pool is disabled, it flags red.  All because management got really agitated one day when some servers were left disabled and caused a client impact...

Anyway, as the BigIP pools keep changing, I adapted the script to generate a Hobbit include file for each BigIP, with a group-only line for each pool with the ports it contains.  bbgen tells me I have 4441 hosts right now, but only 1726 are unique.  A lot of the hosts are represented in multiple pools, so they show up multiple times in the include files.

    I got my update in there. I think bbgen is inflating my count
    though. 28 hosts includes 6 environmental sensors and 2 oracle
    databases. :)

    We need this kind of calling once a while so more people will log
    the entries.

    Welcome the 1st entry from Japan hobbit user.

     Hi all

     A while ago, this list conducted a survey, of who uses Hobbit.
     Some of the names were quite interesting, and there were a few
    surprise inclusions (for me, at least).
     The results were added to The Hobbit Wiki.

     Has that list been updated as more people start using Hobbit, or
    is it time to do the survey again?

     Cheers
