I found a check_bacula plugin somewhere - I think on nagiosexchange. It looks at the bacula log files for the last day, and issues a warning if any backups have failed. It also reports on the total number of backups. It's far from perfect (the warning state always remains exactly until midnight, for instance) but for the time being is useful enough for me. And it is a perl script, so it should be easy enough to customize.
The copyright notice for that plugin says "Guy Van Sanden" and gives the URL http://nocturn.vbsnet.be Mike wrote: > Folks, > > Does anyone have any tips for montioring Bacula with Nagios? > > Ideally I was thinking of connecting to the sockets and doing a hello to > make sure it was happy.
