As to improvements to there server, well Do they ever end ! <smile> As to the hobbit client, yes that is the missing piece! However it may be very tough to do! First NO external libraries such as PCRE, RRDtool, libpng, OpenSSL, OpenLDAP , perl if used should be perl 4! Why , portability! Ive bbclient for hpux 9.0 ,10.x 11.0 and Solaris 2.5.1. Its one thing to find a relatively modern box to run the hobbit server on but I must support all sorts of client and may not be able to install external libraries. (if I remember right bb 19c actually compiles with the c compiler used for kernel gens on hpux!)
I am thinking your aiming to do ALL it in C rather than C plus shell scripts like bb?

It seems version 4.0 has reached some stability - there are still a few odd bug reports, but nothing that looks like major problems. So I thought it would be worthwhile to let you know what my plans are.
First, I'm currently pretty busy with other stuff so questions raised here are not being answered as quickly as I'd like to. Rest assured that they have not been forgotten, and I will look at all of the reports and questions - but probably not very much for the next week or so.
I'm currently working on a 4.0.5 release which will be a performance- improvement release. The current Hobbit code has a flaw in the alert- module, that makes it use much more CPU time than it should - especially if you have a large number of statuses that are in an alert state, but which do not have any recipients defined in hobbit-alerts.cfg. This will be released sometime in June.
But summer is upon us, and that means less development activity - so things will slow down as the temperature rises. So don't expect a lot of activity during the summer.
When I pick up speed again, I haven't yet decided if I should go for the alert/acknowledge improvements that I've talked about for some time, or if I should tackle the issue of a Hobbit client and get that into a reasonable shape for the more common platforms. I have some ideas for a rather different client architecture than the current one, and the client is also *the* missing piece of the whole Hobbit puzzle - so I could be tempted to get that done. I'd like some feedback on what you find most urgent.
Regards, Henrik
