check_backuppc - A Nagios plugin to monitor BackupPC

check_backuppc [options]

check_backuppc is a nagios plugin that reports on the status of BackupPC. By default, it monitors both archive and backup hosts for errors.

Only check the status of archive hosts.
Only check the status of non-archive hosts.
Only check the status of the backups, omit connection failures that are less than $Conf{FullPeriod} old.
Only check the specified host. Uses hostnames that BackupPC is configured to use, can be specified multiple times.
Do not check the specified host. Uses hostnames that BackupPC is configured to use, can be specified multiple times.
The days old at which a failure is considered a warning, default 1.
The days old at which a failure is considered critical, default 8.
The maximum number of failed hosts for which to reduce reported severity, default 0.
Show summary of options.

This plugin must be run on the same host and as the same user as BackupPC. An archive host only takes on a reported type of archive after its first archive run.

/usr/local/lib/nagios/plugins/check_backuppc -r1 -w3 -c8 -b -x otter

Check the status of all backup hosts except "otter". Warn if a failed backup is older than three days old, return critical if a failure is older than eight days old unless there is only a single failure. In that case, warn if the single failed backup is older than eight days.
