Nagios and Bacula....

[Arno Lehmann]

Yes.

Or rather, I'm just now working on it.

Basic idea:

Use snmp to check the services. Do not connect, because
- I don't want to implement baculas encripton / authentication
- a tcp connect results in an annoying error message in the console or mail
- I don't want client passwords for a security relevant service on a 
monitoring host.

The snmp check verifies - depending on its command line - if director, 
sd and /or fd are running

Done backups are reported by "run after job" scripts. The director 
reports all don jobs via nsca. nagios itself is set up in the "standard" 
passive-only check way to wait for these reports and use the freshness 
checks together with a plugin to give a warning result if a backup ok is 
not received every 30 hours at most.

When I see the whole setup running ok for three days (that would be day 
after tomorrow) I'll post an information to the bacula-lists and here.
