`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 2.1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * Only support pgBackRest **2.33** and above in order to add support for the 
multi-repository feature.
Introduce the `--repo` option to set the repository index to operate on. When 
multiple repositories will be found, if the `--repo` argument is not provided, 
the services will operate on all repositories defined, checking for 
inconsistencies across multiple repositories.
It is however recommended to also define checks using the `--repo` argument to 
verify the sanity of each repository separately.

  * Add a new `max-archives-check-number` option for the archives service. This 
is intended to use in case of timeline switch and when boundary WAL can't be 
detected properly, in order to prevent infinite WAL archives check.
  * Add `prtg` output format (Hans-Peter Zahno).
