check_backuppc(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 check_backuppc(8)

NAME

       check_backuppc - A Nagios plugin to monitor BackupPC

SYNOPSIS

       check_backuppc [options]

DESCRIPTION

       check_backuppc  is  a  nagios  plugin  that  reports  on the status of BackupPC.  By default, it monitors both archive and backup hosts for
       errors.

OPTIONS

       -a, --archive-only
	      Only check the status of archive hosts.

       -b, --backup-only
	      Only check the status of non-archive hosts.

       -s, --status-only
	      Only check the status of the backups, omit connection failures that are less than $Conf{FullPeriod} old.

       -H, --hostname hostname
	      Only check the specified host.  Uses hostnames that BackupPC is configured to use, can be specified multiple times.

       -x, --exclude hostname
	      Do not check the specified host.	Uses hostnames that BackupPC is configured to use, can be specified multiple times.

       -w, --warning age
	      The days old at which a failure is considered a warning, default 1.

       -c, --critical age
	      The days old at which a failure is considered critical, default 8.

       -r, --reduce count
	      The maximum number of failed hosts for which to reduce reported severity, default 0.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

NOTES

       This plugin must be run on the same host and as the same user as BackupPC.  An archive host only takes on a reported type of archive  after
       its first archive run.

EXAMPLES

       /usr/local/lib/nagios/plugins/check_backuppc -r1 -w3 -c8 -b -x otter
	      Check  the  status  of  all backup hosts except "otter".	Warn if a failed backup is older than three days old, return critical if a
	      failure is older than eight days old unless there is only a single failure.  In that case, warn if the single failed backup is older
	      than eight days.
