Hi,

for Perl, there is a library called "Hobbit_fd_lib". I found it along with dbcheck.pl, which we use for database checking - I don't know if it's only a part of dbcheck, or a stand-alone lib. Nevertheless, it seems to be useful (although I never used it in my own scripts, since these were all ported from old-style BB).
Another possible solution could be bbhostshow or bbhostgrep, or the already mentioned hobbit dashboard.

Btw.: Nice idea to have the hobbit config in a database, I've also thought about this...

Henrik/All,
I have spent the last few days writing a Perl script that reads through the
/hostdata/ files, extracts interface information for each server that I
monitor and writes/updates a MySQL database. I now want to extract other
information from the same file which brings up the question: Is there any
sort of library of functions that I could compile into a C program to make
access to this data any easier? I have had a poke through the sources for
Xymon 4.2.2 but can't find what I need 8-(
Actually, I was thinking about this, as it would be useful to be able to access some configuration information in (e.g.) perl. Ideally, if there were a shared library for Hobbit/Xymon that included the functions for reading configuration, events, data, it could be exposed to scripting languages as well.
