Re: [Nagios-users] monitoring batch jobs
yeah, thats one approach, to write the status in a file from the batch job, and then check it via nagios plugin or nrpe plugins. Also, you can consider the batch job to submit a passive check via nsca , upon completion. This way you can avoid repeatedly checking the status file , regards ranjib On Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 3:14 PM, Claudio Kuenzler wrote: > > > On Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 9:40 AM, Marki wrote: > >> Hey there, >> >> is there a recommended way of monitoring batch jobs when the only kind-of >> log >> available are mails sent by each part of the job? >> > > In the batchfile you could add a status output to an external file, which > is then checked by Nagios.

I am looking for something similar, to integrate with some backup jobs that run as a script and then upload to a cloud service. Mainly because we have the alert, acknowledge, resolve (or escalate) and all the contacts etc setup in nagios by chef. You could modify one of the pop3 or IMAP checks to login to an account and parse the results... for example.. http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Network-Protocols/IMAP4-and-POP3 Cheers, Tom -- Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
[Nagios-users] monitoring batch jobs
Hey there, is there a recommended way of monitoring batch jobs when the only kind-of log available are mails sent by each part of the job? In that case one should also find out if a certain mail was NOT sent, i.e. has not arrived in a certain timeperiod. While all of this is somehow scriptable, I thought I would ask first if there exists something to build such a solution upon...
