check_sepsesam

This plugin checks the status of backups in the SEP Sesam Database.

It requires that the Sesam init script has been sourced; e.g. add the following line to /etc/init.d/icinga

. /var/opt/sesam/var/ini/sesam2000.profile

or type

source /var/opt/sesam/var/ini/sesam2000.profile

in the bash command line to integrade in script or try on command line.

The plugin checks the status of all backups which match the Host / Task that have been completed since the last check and delivers the data in multi-line format.

It is possible to separate multiple hosts and/or tasks with commas.

Backups that are still running will not be included in the results.
