There are some good examples of (free) monitoring systems with database
backends (and web interfaces).
I recently downloaded Zenoss (http://www.zenoss.com) as a VMware
appliance and was impressed with the look and feel. It doesn't come
close to Hobbit for the range of tests it can do (mostly SNMP) nor is it
as easy to add new tests.

I like the idea of a database for the trends and status. I think once
you getinto using a database for that you will look for other parts of
hobbit to put there too. One thing that comes to mind is some uer
authentication for whatever config editing front-end you do. And I
denfinately want to see a front-end for the configs so that the hobbit
server admin is not overly burdened with config setup/changes for a
growing client population.
