So I have run across one for which I can't figure out a starting point. We 
are using Tivoli to backup our farm including databases. For the most part 
this is easy to monitor as we can just monitor Tivoli. However the 
database backups are not scheduled through Tivoli but rather in their 
respective DBs as scheduled procedures. (I am not a DBA so forgive me if 
my language on that piece is off). The only actual method for determining 
the success or failure of these backups is a log file on the Windows 
server. We are using SNMP for all our Windows monitoring at the moment but 
are open to other solutions. I need to be able to access this file, grep 
out the date and status, and process those results for Nagios. Does anyone 
know of a simple way to do this and if not then does anyone know of a 
complicated method? I am not locked into to any solution and would be 
willing to use active or passive checks, snmp, nc_net, or any other 
solution. Thanks in advance for any replies or advice.
