I can confirm that Xymon (formerly "Hobbit" formely "Big Brother") can operate as either a push or pull. By default agents report to the Xymon server, but you can configure hosts where instead the server connects to the agent and queries the needed data. For what it's worth, Xymon also has configurable "recovered" messaging options. -Charles
