I setup a check for a few very large backup jobs. This works as expected.
If I feel like looking, I see a WARNING State when the nsca client starts
the job at 19:00, the freshness check at 19:10 passes if the job actually
did start. No notifications go out...
I then schedule a check at 23:30 to look for an updated status which would
be SUCCESSFUL if the backup job finished or CRITICAL if it knows it failed,
or if it tanks and doesn't even update, the freshness interval is just short
of the check so it goes CRITICAL either way. Notifications go out if anything
went wrong.
That's good for big jobs, but I now want to add some tiny jobs that rsync
a very small set of files, problem is they finish so fast, my routine below
can't hack it. I don't want to setup multiple defs and checks. I know I can
wait till the next day for example, but that isn't good enough for some jobs.
Is there some better way to accomplish this?
Thanks!
