I see! but I would like to have a process that runs outside of bacula
and not be tied to it.
One thing I thought was to replace the append entry in the Messages
section in bacula-dir.conf in two ways:
1) replace the regular log file by a FIFO (pipe)
append = "/var/bacula/logpipe"
Instead of having a regular file /var/bacula/log we can have a pipe
where bacula will be writing the logs and have a process reading from
the pipe, sending a copy of all logs to syslogd and processing them to
generate some useful information that could be reported, in real time,
to a monitoring tool.
2) replace the regular log file by a script
append = "|/var/bacula/procecsslogs.py"
Every time bacula hase some logs, it will execute processlogs.py script
and pipe the logs to it. This would require some modifications to
bacula's code unless bacula is already capable of such a thing.
But I still prefer something like check_bacula that talks directly to
the deamons but a little more verbose and probably with more commands
than just ".status dir current".
