Backup Exec 2012

[tribbink]

Hi,

for monitoring symantec backup exec 2010 is use the nagios addon check_be, is there a way to monitor backup exec 2012?
I get No handler for that command? Backup exec adds numbers at the ens of the XML files so i cannot check an unique XML file.

Thanks in advance,
Ton

Thanks, i do use http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... ck/details, and its working fine for backup exec 2010 and below, but not for backup exec 2012.
the logging-structure of backup exec 2012 seems to be different. Any suggestions on how backup exec 2012 can be monitored with NagiosXI?

You may also be able to monitor these using SNMP with the correct MIBs, you would be best off checking with the vendor for the current MIB file, but I did also find this

Hi,

for a long time i use the plugin check_backupexec_backups.ps1 in Powershell, and it worked well.

cmd /c echo scripts\check_backupexec_backups.ps1 "B2D full-Full" "7" | powershell.exe -command -

On the powershell all seems ok, but nagios claims an error, every check is more than 7 days ago.
Is this error due to a Nagios Update?

Can you show an example of the above error?

[tribbink]

CRITICAL! Last run of job: 'B2D Even Week-Full' more than 7 days ago.

CRITICAL! Last run of job: 'B2D full-Full' more than 7 days ago.
But in powershell all is ok

I received this error after i updated nagios to latest version, and after i changed the Time Periods that were in use by this check on the Check Settings TAB and Alert Settings TAB.
Changing the time period back to 24x7 didn't solve the problem

Can you post the service definition for the failing check?

In NagiosXI /usr/local/nagios/services
