Hi all,
I'm writing an external perl script to query the bacula DB so I can
grab out the list of tapes in the autochanger and do some formating on
the resulting data to make it easier to read.
But what I really want is to be able to:
1. know t he number of slots/drives in the autochanger(s).
2. query the drives.
3. query the slots.
4. then query the media DB to figure out the status of various pieces
of media.
I've got the intial script working, which only queries (via mysql) the
Media DB to find out some info and pretty print the data.
But of course the Storage and Device tables aren't actually
populated. And I don't think I want to parse the Bacula configuration
files to run my queries.
Should I be running bconsole commands and parsing the output instead?
Something like this:
bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bacula-director.conf <<EOF
status storage
EOF
And then take all the output and parse it with my perl script?
Ugly...
And does anyone else find it annoying that you can't do:
status slots
but instead you have to run:
update slots drive=0
even if you *don't care* which drive gets used, bacula should just
pick it's own damm drive for the checking, if needed. And since
update slots hacks the Media table, what's the process to get the
status without an update?
Thanks,
John
