Hi
The short answer is yes. We have a 3rd party (they provide Dc services) that use Big Brother. Since I joined the company, I started using Hobbit, but had to do so without disrupting their Big Brother. I have also started migrating some of our servers to Hobbit client.
We now have BB-client and Hobbit client running on our servers, reporting to Hobbit in our offices, and Big Brother server at our data centre hosts. It gets a little confusing, but keeps things interesting :-)
Do you have a more specific question?
Regards Vernon

I saw the recent thread regarding using bbproxy to replicate the display, and would like to do something similar. However, ideally, what I'd like is to use something like bbrelay to have the clients report to both hobbit and bb, while I get hobbit fully set up. I know the alert structure is a little different, and I'd like to have time to tweak things and such instead of doing an abrupt cutover. Is it possible to have the clients actually report to both servers, such that both bb and hobbit will process the data (as bbnets or whatever). I googled hobbit and bbrelay but didn't come up with too much. Will bbrelay do what I want, or does it just forward the reports instead of processing it on both servers? I want BB to remain fully functional for the time being, as I'm monitoring over 2000 machines with paging and ext and pg scripts which kick off other things.
