I gave a one hour in house seminar on using Hobbit at our university.
I wrote up a lot of the text I wanted to say, and I have it on our
web pages, if anyone is interested in it.  Most of the URLs are
inaccessible to people who don't work for us, but the text might
be of some use.

Thanks, it was an interesting read. I am always curious to hear about
how people are using Hobbit, because I have a strong feeling that there
are quite a few ways of doing monitoring - some feature that seems 
important to me may be irrelevant in real life, and vice versa.

E.g. I noticed you had written a custom script to check on inode-usage
for filesystems. That might be something we should include in the
standard Hobbit client (I don't think it would require much new code,
it can probably be handled almost completely by the current filesystem
code).


Regards,
Henrik

I agree.  Although I've had very few instances of running out of inodes,
when it happens...CRASH!!!

I'm using bb-inode.sh from Deadcat too, but it needs a 'df'' command 
which supports inode reporting, so it would be nice to have it in the 
Hobbit client.

For those who think it's useless :

$ df -hi /BB
Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda4               2.4M    2.0M    371K   85% /BB
