I attempted to configure Zenoss to monitor the bacula-dir IP Service and it didn't work out so well. As soon as I started monitoring it, the Bacula director started sending messages about connection errors.
It appears that Bacula's director daemon expects a 2 package message, with the first package indicating the size of the second package as a 4 byte integer. Fortunately, there's a special message I can send to indicate there is no second package, unfortunately, that message is 4 null characters in a row. I don't think I can enter that particular message in the "Send String" section of the monitored service instance. I know I can monitor the process instead, but frankly the existence of the process doesn't guarantee that the process isn't deadlocked or similarly unable to respond. So does anyone have any experience with monitoring a Bacula service with Zenoss? And if so, did you ever figure out how to monitor the director as an IP Service without disabling Bacula's out-bound emails? -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=25485#25485 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
