The pithy ruminations from Mike on
<[Bacula-users] Monitoring bacula with Nagios> were:
=>
=>
=> Folks,
=>
=> Does anyone have any tips for montioring Bacula with Nagios?
Yes.
=>
=> Ideally I was thinking of connecting to the sockets and doing a hello to
=> make sure it was happy. I haven't been able to find any plugings and
=> tinking with the protocol there seems to be some non printing characters
=> which makes it a little tricky to write my own.
=>
=> Any other suggestions for achiving it?
Sure.
I'm using the Nagios "nrpe" facility to have the nagios server issue calls to
each client to run the nagios "check_procs" command, looking for the presence
of the process "bacula-fd". You can do similar things to check for the
bacula-sd and bacula-dir daemons.
Here are some config file snippets:
===nagios server===
checkcommands.cfg
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c
check_bacula-fd -t 20
===backup client===
nrpe.cfg
command[check_bacula-fd]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -C
bacula-fd -c 1: -w :2
