color=#0000ff size=2>you can probably write a custom script that will do what is
needed, and have the Hobbit client run it wherever you need it. Then you
can write another script on the server side to "catch" the data and set up the
RRD calls. There are several moving parts, but Henrik has done a nice job
explaining what needs to be done, and provides a
helpful example.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

absolute size (alert & trending)<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>greetings,<BR><BR>I need to monitor some os and db backup files for
their sizes for alert based on absolute sizes as well as rrd trending. Does
Hobbit do this now? I am running 4.2-RC-20060712 on CentOS 4.3/i386.<BR><BR>A
twist is the file names are timestamped
(os-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHmm.star.gz). any suggestions/tricks? I thought of
making a copy to a fixed name for monitoring, but it is kinda expensive due to
the size of the backups themselves.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
