Dana, A script run from the backup server which sends a status for each individual server with a backup on the backup server. So you have a list of servers with images on the backup server like:

servera serverb serverc ....

process the list in a loop like

for SVR in SERVERS do

if [ -f $SVR.image];then Color=green STATMSG="Image file found OK!" else Color=red STATMSG="Image file not found!" fi $BBCMD $BBDISP "status ${SVR}.image $Color $STATMSG" done

In this way, each individual server gets an "image" test which shows the status of that file on the backup server. The script is run fro the xymon client on the backup server.

From: Dana Pearson [mailto:Dana.Pearson at coles.com.au] Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2010 5:59 PM To: 'hobbit at hswn.dk' Subject: [hobbit] Monitoring from the Hobbit Server for each client ? Hi,

My site has 200 Linux servers. A Recovery Image file exists on a Linux Backup Server for every Linux server. The Backup server starts the process to create the Recovery Image and stores it on one of its filesystems.

How can I display in Hobbit red/green alert for each Linux server when the file exists only on the backup server (not on each individual server). Can a script be run from the Hobbit server to display the status for each client ? Has someone got an example ?

Regards Dana
