Re: [HTCondor-users] Monitoring condor nodes with hobbit

[Cody Belcher <codytrey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suppose my end goal is to easily see when a node has an issue, but you 
are right, I do get emails when say sched crashes or something. with out 
any extra configuration I can use hobbit to see which hosts are on, and 
that will work for my needs.

Thanks,

Cody
