There have been a number of notification-related nitpicks so far. While they're good ideas, I don't want to re-implement monitoring and notification systems in Amanda. Are there projects out there that you think would work well with Amanda, if we could build some interfaces, to do this sort of notification? So far, I have: - tape-monkey emails (just the "next tape" message from amreport) - pager-friendly amcheck reports - trending-based warning notifications If we could make this info available to a monitoring framework (or several..), then these sorts of emails would be much easier to produce. I know there is a basic NAGIOS interface. Are there other ideas? Amreport has an --xml output mode, although it's not tested at all so currently YMMV. But that might be a nice way to start to export status data from Amanda into a tool designed for monitoring and notification. Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
