## FAQ
### Is Linspector usable already?
No! Linspector is at a very early stage of development, but I believe it will become
stable until the end of 2022. The old version of Linspector was usable and I ran it for
monitoring a small amount of services for some years.
### Should I try the old version of Linspector?
I recommend not to use the old version of Linspector because the new version will
in no way become backward compatible. Features of the old version will nearly all be
implemented in the new version so if you can wait a little then I recommend to wait
until I release the new version of Linspector.
### Can I use an old configuration of Linspector in the new version?
No! The new configuration does not use JSON files anymore but an INI file syntax based on
a directory tree.
### Why should I use Linspecter even there are other mature and stable tools available already?
Linpector aims to be very small and simple and even should work in home or small
environments. But Linspector also is useful in very large infrastructures for monitoring
thousands of devices and services.
### Can I run multiple instances of the Linspector daemon?
Yes, of course. Since you add a configuration path when running Linspector you can
just pass a different path to a configuration tree to each instance. And since you
can configure the PID file in each configuration you can even can start, stop or
restart each instance in a native way.
