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

I'd guess start with making a variable ONSERVER and ONBACKUP and if
both are not true or 1 then make the alert red.

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.
