Hi,
for Perl, there is a library called "Hobbit_fd_lib". I found it along with dbcheck.pl, which we use for database checking - I don't know if it's only a part of dbcheck, or a stand-alone lib. Nevertheless, it seems to be useful (although I never used it in my own scripts, since these were all ported from old-style BB). Another possible solution could be bbhostshow or bbhostgrep, or the already mentioned hobbit dashboard.
Btw.: Nice idea to have the hobbit config in a database, I've also thought about this...

But, I want: 1)Page layout information (without writing a separate parser which may not operate identically) 2)Thresholds 3)"Critical View" configuration 4)Client-local configuration for more client-side tests

All of which could be added to the hobbit protocol.
