Are there any statistics available to determine the total bandwidth usage for a default hobbit client over a period of time? A day, week or month would be perfect. I'm trying to determine what the impact would be for client deployments across a slow connection.
Thanks

Look at the size of the ~hobbit/client/tmp/msg.HOSTNAME.txt file on a client, this is the data that is sent from the client to the server. There is a tiny amount of network overhead for the TCP/IP connection, but I wouldn't worry about that.
The data is sent every 5 minutes, so a bandwidth estimate would be the size of the file (in bytes) divided by 30 = bandwidth in bits/second.

Hi Henrik, i guess you meant to write 300 instead of 30. It has been a long day. :)

I think it should be 30 since a byte sent is approx 10 bits incl overhead

Exactly.
