Hi John, You requested the same thing two years ago! This was my response on 3 June 2010. Works fine for me. I don't use Nagios, I use Zabbix, but getting alerts for mount requests is fairly simple. I receive alerts for the following type of Bacula messages: 09-Apr 04:35 Test-sd JobId 6900: Jo

This may be a stupid question but is the working state data, that are cached on the client and used to display the recent job history of a client from the tray monitor, limited to the most recent 10 job events? Or is there a way to configure this to show and/or cache more than just 10? thank

Does anyone have a nagios plugin that checks if bacula is waiting for a mount request? I have seen ones that check if jobs fail or check if the daemons are running but not one that checks if bacula is waiting on a mount.
