Xymon Users,
I was wondering if anybody had experience with using xymon to monitor a bacula backup server. I am running a dedicated xymon server, and the bacula backup server is offsite for backup reasons. I have a xymon client only installation on the bacula server so I can receive cpu, disk, and the other system monitors. I came across this xymon extension script ( http://www.revpol.com/xymon_bacula_check_script ) and I installed in on the client side ( bacula backup server ). I followed the instructions (using method 2 bconsole access & modifying the script to fit my environment ) and the test of the xymon user ability to use bconsole works fine.
I am not seeing a backup or bacula section on the xymon server webpage. My guess is that I have to add it somehow to the hosts.cfg file on the server side but this is my first custom script / xymon extension that I had to use so I'm not sure what the syntax should look like for the hosts.cfg. Should I specify the full script name like this ( 155.x.x.101 backup # ssh xymon_bacula_check.sh )? Perhaps there is something else im missing server side that needs to be done like put the custom script in server/ext ?
Appreciate the help Thanks,
