#!/bin/sh : << =cut =head1 NAME fresh-backups - Plugin to monitor the freshness of backup files =head1 APPLICABLE SYSTEMS Any system with some automated backup creating or updating archive files. This works well with backup-manager. =head1 CONFIGURATION The following example checks all tar.bz2 files in /path/to/your/backups/, and counts all those that are less than 2 days old, and there should be 4 separate daily archives. [fresh-backups] user root env.backup_dir /path/to/your/backups/ env.lifetime 2 env.archive_pattern *.tar.bz2 env.backup_number 4 This will also set the warning and critical values for this plugin to 2*4 and 4, respectively, meaning that if the number of fresh files goes below those limits, the relevant notifications will be triggerred.
