I would like to thank everyone for their input. It has been very valuable. We have downloaded and installed Hobbit, and are in the process of configuring it for our environment. We are going to evaluate Hobbit to see if it will fit our needs. If it does not meet our needs, we will evaluate the solutions from Absolute Performance and Velocity.

If this is your understanding of the capabilities of Nagios and Hobbit, then you need to take another look, minus the attitude and blinders. Both offer the ability to conduct active testing of an application outside of the application host without an agent installed on the application host, as well as a library of pre-built and user-contributed application test modules.
