Does hobbit allow you to send disk space alerts to different people. For example if I have a data base machine, the sys admins would get the O/S type alerts, the DBA's get the database filesystem alerts, and the WEB developers would get the WEB filesystem alerts. This was always my big wish list from BB.
In the current version, Hobbit behaves like BB in that respect.
I have some ideas and the beginnings of some code that would allow you
to do this, by filtering status-messages on the Hobbit server before
they are processed by the normal daemon. My idea was that since the
RRD graph module is already parsing a lot of the data, it wouldn't be
terribly difficult to match the data fed into the RRD files against
some thresholds, and trigger an alert e.g. if utilisation of a single
disk goes above some threshold.
