[hobbit] New Big Brother interface
From: josh at imaginenetworksllc.com Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2009 18:58:27 -0500 To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] New Big Brother interface
Has anyone seen this? This is just crazy...

Please don't ever let Xymon go down this road.
How about this one ? at http://xymon.dlinkddns.com/hobbit/ext3/examples/desktop/ It provide interface for old Tigra menu system and new UI by EXTJS RIA framework.
That last one doesn't seem to add anything useful with the modified GUI... kind of silly. The bb4.com one however isn't all that bad, take page 8 for example, that gives me lots of info that may be very useful (page faults/second, cache hits/second), I can't find that stuff on my hobbit server atm (and certainly not in such a orderly fashion on only one page).
It's the core functionality I really care about. As long as the GUI isn't stopping me from doing usefull stuff (for example, not allowing me to edit config files manually anymore or adding custom scripts), I don't see the problem.
That said, I am however happy to stick with xymon. If bb4 has a nice feature, just nick the idea and do it the xymon way!:)

I was mostly talking about the interface to it - I find it way too busy.
BBwin is the best thing you have today for Windows Xymon clients. Not sure if it tells you about the faults or cache hits/second but a script should be capable of being written...
