How would I count the number of currently reporting clients

The 'bbgen' page for your Hobbit server reports the number of monitored hosts. Is that what you're looking for? David

You could rsync the bb-hosts file from the primary to the secondary...

If you OS supports it, you could also use "dnotify" to copy the file from primary to secondary whenever it is updated (via ftp, scp, rsync, whatever works for you).

Hi, How would I count the number of currently reporting clients, as well as the number of hosts (non-clients) that Hobbit is monitoring?

I have a backup Hobbit server, and want to check that it is

receiving data from the same number of clients, and well as the same number of hosts it is monitoring (ie. without client installed).

Bottom-line, to ensure that when I make change to the primary server,

verify that the back-up is also updated accordingly.

Thank you,

Ye-Fee
