Rich, Is there a place I can find a list of the things that Hobbit will monitor? Also, is there any sort of documentation on how to write a new extension? The product looks good, but the documentation seems a bit spotty. Thanks, Jon snip If you have any questions, about the package

I am not familiar with the Linux IUCV driver you posted last week. http://www.sinenomine.net/vm/fsiucv has many helpful facts about the driver and a few handy examples. Only works under VM, though. However, RACROUTE interfaces to SAF so an easy place to make the inteface modifications you are

We use OmegaMon to monitor our quests. It's been a mixed bag for us. Running on 30 or 40 guests on the same lpar can eat up some CPU depending on what you are monitoring. We have seen between 2% to 5% per guest for CPU. You really have to leverage want you need to monitor from within the guest

There are three overriding issues with monitoring linux guests. 1) Overhead of monitoring. If each agent takes 5% of a processor for monitoring, multiply that by say 50 servers, is this good? Or will turning off your monitor solve your performance problem? 2) The CPU numbers from inside Linux
