Project Notes

Usage ===== ./check_burp_backup_age.py -h usage: check_burp_backup_age [-h] [-v] -H [HOSTNAME] [-d [DIRECTORY]] [-w [WARNING]] [-c [CRITICAL]] Local check, Check freshness of last backup for a given host name. Running on the backup server this program will check the timestamp file of the last backup for a given host and get the age of this last successful run. This age is then compared to thresolds to generate alerts. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -v, --version show program version -H [HOSTNAME], --hostname [HOSTNAME] hostname (directory name for burp) [default: None] -d [DIRECTORY], --directory [DIRECTORY] base directory path for backups (where are the backups?) [default: /backups] -w [WARNING], --warning [WARNING] Warning thresold, time in minutes before going to warning [default: 1560] -c [CRITICAL], --critical [CRITICAL] Critical thresold, time in minutes before going to critical [default: 1800] Note that this is a local check, running on the backup server. So the hostname argument is not used to perform any distant connection. Important ========== *This is a local check, so use it with NRPE or check_by_ssh or such tools. * warning and critical thresolds are expressed in minutes, the default values are: - warning: 26 hours so 1560 minutes - critical: 30 hours so 1800 minutes Examples ========= ~# ./check_burp_backup_age.py -d /data/burp -H foo.example.com BURP OK - Last backup is fresh enough: 0 day(s) 21 hour(s) 23 minute(s) (1283<1560) ~# ./check_burp_backup_age.py -d /data/burp -H foo.example.com -w 1200 -c 1500 BURP WARNING - Last backup starts to get old: 0 day(s) 21 hour(s) 23 minute(s) (1283>=1200) ~# ./check_burp_backup_age.py -d /data/burp -H foo.example.com -w 800 -c 1200 BURP CRITICAL - Last backup is too old: 0 day(s) 21 hour(s) 23 minute(s) (1283>=1200) ~# ./check_burp_backup_age.py -d /data/burp -H bar.example.com BURP CRITICAL - Host backup directory /data/burp/bar.example.com does not exists :~# ./check_burp_backup_age.py -d /backups -H bar.example.com BURP CRITICAL - Base backup directory /backups does not exists
