While browsing across internet i found this usefull post on zabbix forum
(zabbix is an opensource, really good, monitoring system).
This post explain how to monitor jobs executions by using message{}
resource instead of recive mails.

Hi all
I use bacula to back up and verify lots of servers. After I had found
zabbix to monitor these, I now was tired of checking all those silly
"Backup OK ..." mails every day. Moreover, I needed a simple way to
monitor the size of each server's backup.
So I made bacula work with zabbix using a self-made perl script. I use
bacula 2.0.3, but the procedure should work with other versions as well;
perhaps the text strings in the script need some adjustment. Here is my
cookbook contribution:
1) On your server hosting the bacula director, create a perl script
/etc/zabbix/bin/custom_bacula (see attachment, remove .txt extension),
chmod 0755
(sorry, this is my first perl script: not very elegant, but it works for
me. Improvements are welcome!)
2) in /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf, replace the mailcommand line by:
mailcommand = "/etc/zabbix/bin/custom.bacula %r %c"
and modify the mail line as follows (of course, replace
my.zabbixserver.fqdn by your server's dns name):
mail = my.zabbixserver.fqdn = all, !skipped
...this way, the bacula result messages go through the zabbix_sender
process instead of being mailed through bsmtp.
3) create zabbix trapper items with the names given in the custom.bacula
script, e.g.
bacula.backup.result
bacula.fd.fileswritten (Units: Bytes)
bacula.fd.byteswritten (Units: Bytes)
(etc.)
4) ensure that the FD names in the bacula-dir.conf file correspond to
the hostnames used in zabbix.
5) Enjoy! Add triggers for bacula.backup.result >1 or
bacula.verify.result >0 to report errors; add thresholds to monitor
backup size etc. etc.
Regards
