Re: [Bacula-users] Verifying run of backups - script?
Hi, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Essentially, what I'm looking for (or may be writing) is a little script (Python maybe?) that will find all jobs that should have been run this calendar day (I guess by parsing the director config file, since it's not stored in the database) and then check the Jobs table to be sure that they actually ran and ended successfully. If all is ok, it would send an email with a subject like Bacula on HOSTNAME - DATE - All OK or would alert if there are any errors. I'd run it as a cron job so that it's entirely independent of Bacula. Actually I have written a small perl script that does what you want. It currently works only with mysql (postgres should be hackable) and lists all jobs that ran on the current day. All it does is fire up some mysql querys and generate a report from it. We run this by cronjob and generate a mail from it.

Re: [Bacula-users] Verifying run of backups - script?
To make sure a job ran, simply mash up a bash script (or php/python) and run an sql query for all jobs that started on a certain day. Then you could compile this in a single readable e-mail. Then add an admin job which runs the script at a specified time every day (preferably after your backups, so I'd give it a higher priority).

Re: [Bacula-users] Verifying run of backups - script?
Thanks to all for the advice. I hadn't even thought of the Nagios passive check option. That sounds best for me - I'll look into it tomorrow. I haven't done anything with passive checks and freshness checking, but luckily I picked up the Nagios book - something good for bedtime reading... As to the Nagios check plugin for bacula, I installed bacula from the bacula-mysql SuSE RPM. Unfortunately, the RPM didn't include the check plugin, and I don't have the source to compile the plugin. I guess it's time to look for a source RPM... Thanks, Jason Arno Lehmann wrote: Hi, 16.10.2007 20:32,, Ryan Novosielski wrote:: There is also a Nagios plugin for Bacula.
