check_duplicati_job

Project Notes

I’ve made a small set of scripts to allow for an easy monitoring integration with Nagios Core.

You’ll need to place the following files into your nagios installation to set it up. I’ve tested this on Debian 10 (buster). Your Duplicati backup job needs to call the bash script by specifiying the advanced option “–run-script-after=/root/.config/Duplicati/save-job-result.sh” in order to save the job result to a status file. The status file will be read by the nagios plugin to determine the sensor status.
