Hello,

well you could do a ALLCLIENTS=$HOBBITSERVERHOME/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard"|awk -F\| '{print $1}'|sort -u|wc -l to get all clients that actually report to your server. As second step do a INSTCLIENTS=$HOBBITSERVERHOME/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard test=cpu"|awk -F\| '{print $1}'|sort -u|wc -l to get all clients that have client installed monitoring. I assume if a client is installed then it also reports a cpu status. Finally do CLIENTLESS=$((ALLCLIENTS-INSTCLIENTS)).

However, clients polled via SNMP are also show the cpu status but have no client installed. But I hope to have helped you a bit.

Cheers Torsten Hi, Is there better way of reporting this?

    Purpose:  to report how many active client and client-less monitoring are done by hobbit.

    My method: 1. for client installed monitoring, count the number of  /home/hobbit/data/rrd/*/vmstat.rrd that are recent (ie. newer than a date file created earlier, say 5am)

    2. for client-less monitoring, count the number of  latest /home/hobbit/data/histlogs/*/conn/ or /home/hobbit/data/histlogs/*/http/ (if both exist, then count only one) that are recent (see def. above). (some clients may not be pingable; multiple web pages on the same server should be counted only once).
