Hi John, You requested the same thing two years ago! This was my response on 3 June 2010. Works fine for me.
I don't use Nagios, I use Zabbix, but getting alerts for mount requests is fairly simple. I receive alerts for the following type of Bacula messages: 09-Apr 04:35 Test-sd JobId 6900: Job Example.2009-04-08_22.15.26 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes. 02-Mar 08:43 Test-sd JobId 19295: Please mount Volume "000011L3" for: How to: In your messages resource operatorcommand = "/etc/bacula/mountrequest.sh" operator = nms.example.local = mount The operator command calls my script mountrequest.sh, and the $message is forwarded to Zabbix. Here is the guts of the script, you will need to do whatever to send the output to nagios. data=`cat` error1=`echo "$data" | grep "Please mount" | awk -F" " '{ print $6,$7,$8,$9; }'` error2=`echo "$data" | grep appendable | awk -F" " '{ print $9,$10,$11,$12,$13; }'` if [[ "$error1" == "" ]]; then { message=$error2 } else { message=$error1 } fi Hope that is of some help to you.

I have seen ones that check if jobs fail or check if the daemons are running but not one that checks if bacula is waiting on a mount. Sometimes bacula wants a tape that is not in my 24 slot autochanger and that puts jobs on hold until I notice that. I need this because my linux network is not permitted to be connected to the internet so I can not receive emails from bacula however all clients have dual networks so I can monitor status using nagios on my desktop. -- John M.
