`check_pgbackrest` is designed to monitor [pgBackRest](https://pgbackrest.org) 
backups from Nagios, relying on the status information given by the 
[info](https://pgbackrest.org/command.html#command-info) command.

It allows to monitor the backups retention and the consistency of the archived 
WAL segments.

Changes in check_pgbackrest 2.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * Only support pgBackRest **2.32** and above in order to only use its internal
  commands. This remove Perl dependencies no-longer needed to reach repository 
  hosts or S3 compatible object stores.
  This also brings Azure compatible object stores support.
  The `repo-*` arguments have then been deprecated.
  * Support non-gz compressed files in the archives check (Magnus Hagander).
  * Fix the `ignore-archived-*` features when using pgBackRest internal 
commands 
  (Magnus Hagander).
  * Improve `ignore-archived-*` features to skip WAL consistency check for 
backups
  involving ignored archives.
  * Skip unneeded boundary WAL check on TL switch (reported by sebastienruiz). 
  * The retention service will now check that at least the backup directory 
exists,
  not only trusting the pgBackRest info command output (suggested by Michael 
Banck).
