NTBackup Windows Server 2003

Description

NTBackup Nagios Plugin ====================== Overview -------- Simple plugin for Nagios to test if nightly backups completed successfully. Prerequisites ------------- * Install NSClient++: http://www.nsclient.org/nscp * Install ruby: http://rubyinstaller.org/ * Place the .rb scripts in the NSClient++ scripts folder, i.e: C:Program FilesNSClient++scripts * Configure the script as an external script for NSClient++. See the sample below if you need help. * General information about monitoring Windows machines with Nagios can be found here: http://www.nsclient.org/nscp Configuration ------------- * Update the BACKUP_DIRECTORY constant in check_nt_backup_config.rb to point to the NTBackup log directory. This directory is in the user profile of the user account that runs NTBackup. * If you don't run backups every night you may need to adjust the MAX_AGE constant in the script. * The MAX_AGE array specifies a different number of hours for each day. This is in case you don't run backups on weekends. Example NSC.ini ------------------- In a default installation it will be here: C:Program FilesNSClient++ The following is a minimalist NSC.ini file. This will get you up and running but you should probably configure NSC++ with a proper allowed_hosts directive and a password. [modules] NRPEListener.dll CheckExternalScripts.dll [Settings] use_file=1 allowed_hosts= [External Scripts] check_nt_backup=ruby.exe scriptscheck_backup.rb
