Backup Exec + Nagios; monitorizar las copias. Parte 1

Esta entrada explicará cómo tener monitorizadas las copias de backup exec desde nagios. En principio parece que no tenga mucha utilidad, pero si tenéis varios clientes a monitorizar (como es mi caso, más de 20), tener todo unificado en una sola consola / web es bastante ágil.
Para ello, necesitaremos:
1º) Nagios > 3.x
2º) NSClient++ instalado en el servidor a monitorizar.
2º) nagios_be
Instalaremos este ejecutable en el servidor a monitorizar, siendo los archivos:
– check_be.exe
– La documentación de cómo hacerlo:Check_be
He seleccionado la versión 3.x del Nsclient; es la que he ido probando y funciona bastante bien. Descargamos y lo instalamos en c:nagios del servidor a monitorizar.
Una vez instalado (siguiente, siguiente), editaremos el fichero c:nagiosnsc.ini y modificaremos (en negrita):

;# ENCRYPTION METHOD
; This option determines the method by which the send_nsca client will encrypt the packets it sends
; to the nsca daemon. The encryption method you choose will be a balance between security and
; performance, as strong encryption methods consume more processor resources.
; You should evaluate your security needs when choosing an encryption method.
;
; Note: The encryption method you specify here must match the decryption method the nsca daemon uses
; (as specified in the nsca.cfg file)!!

; 0 = None (Do NOT use this option)

Reiniciamos el servicio de windows. Ahora copiamos el fichero check_be.exe en la carpeta que nos ha creado el instalador (c:nagios)
Una vez copiado, desde el servidor windows, comprobamos si funciona, ejecutando desde el terminal:

C:nagios>check_be "c:Program FilesSymantecBackup ExecData" "CopiaESXi" -w1 -c3
Job: CopiaESXi, Status: Completed with exceptions, Date:5/4/2012
C:nagios>

Ahora explicamos…
c:nagioscheck_be –> el ejecutable
«c:Program FilesSymantecBackup ExecData» –> la ubicación de los catálogos de veritas, en mi caso, en la versión 2010.
«CopiaESXi» –> el nombre que le hemos dado a la tarea dentro del backup exec
«-w1 -c3» –> Según la ayuda
-c :
Return ‘critical’ state if the last occurrence of the job is older
than days. This can help to determine if a scheduled job is
disabled, locked, paused, or any other reason.
-w : Same, but for ‘warning’ state
Seguimos…. damos por hecho que la prueba de arriba ha salido bien… ahora vamos a la parte de los ficheros del nagios
