With the recent postings about monitoring Bacula with Nagios, I thought it might be a good time to post a client-side external Xymon script to monitor Bacula here as well.
The script is a simple (and a little ugly) Bash shell script that uses Bacula's bconsole "status dir" command output to see if any jobs are waiting on operator intervention, and it also checks the last "x" number of jobs to see if any of them failed and reports both instances back to a Xymon monitoring server. For those who do not know, Xymon is also an open-source network systems monitoring tool that is widely used. It may be found here: http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/ I wrote the script a while back but modified it today to include checking for "intervention required" issues requested in the "Nagios Plugins" thread. The script may be found here: http://www.revpol.com/xymon_bacula_check_script There are currently no instructions on installing it, but they will be up shortly. Basic instructions for installing such a script may be found in the Xymon man pages as well. Hope this helps someone somewhere. :) -- Bill Arlofski Reverse Polarity, LLC http://www.revpol.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
