    Good way for monitoring "Symantec Backup Exec"

    Hi All!

    As I mentioned in my last thread (http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11445 I wanted to show you, how we monitor our Backup-Exec-Results of daily backup.

    So, here we go :-)

    First, I want to present you a screenshot of the result in zabbix:
    We also monitor the services of backup exec, but I don´t want to discuss this, because its to simple,... (service_state[service])
    We will focus on the Backup-Job-Results.




    Here is how it starts:
    - Notice: we are working with german systems, for english systems you have to reconfigure the batchjob to fit your language!

    - First you have to be sure, Backup Exec will log in .txt; go to Extras -> Optionen -> Auftragsprotokoll
    - set the information-type to "Nur Kurz-Info"
    - set the protocol-type to textfile
    - under the config-lines you see the path, where BE will store the logs!

    OK, we are now done in Backup Exec.

    Lets create the Batchjob for our Windows-Server.

    the batch-file (again for german systems!!)
    The only thing you have to do here is to check, if the path to the log-files is ok.
    And, very important, you must have the tools grep and cut from the linux-tools for windows (http://unxutils.sourceforge.net)

    Code:
    @echo off

set logs=C:\Programme\Symantec\Backup Exec\Data

for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /B /Od /A-d "%logs%\*.txt"') do set file=%%i

goto %1

:Backupjob-Name

type "%logs%\%file%" | grep Auftragsname | cut -f2-50 -d" "
goto EOF


:Backupjob-Start

for /f "tokens=2 delims=," %%i in ('type "%logs%\%file%" ^| grep "Auftrag gestartet am"') do set start=%%i
for /f "tokens=1 delims=." %%i in ('echo %start%') do set day=%%i
for /f "tokens=2 delims= " %%i in ('echo %start%') do set month=%%i
for /f "tokens=3 delims= " %%i in ('echo %start%') do set year=%%i
for /f "tokens=5 delims= " %%i in ('echo %start%') do set starttime=%%i

    Now we have to configure our zabbixagent.conf like this (be free to use other paths )
    Code:
    UserParameter=backupexecname[*],C:\Programme\zabbix\backupexeccheck.cmd Backupjob-$1
UserParameter=backupexecstart[*],C:\Programme\zabbix\backupexeccheck.cmd Backupjob-$1
UserParameter=backupexecend[*],C:\Programme\zabbix\backupexeccheck.cmd Backupjob-$1
UserParameter=backupexecresult[*],C:\Programme\zabbix\backupexeccheck.cmd Backupjob-$1
UserParameter=backupexecerror[*],C:\Programme\zabbix\backupexeccheck.cmd Backupjob-$1
UserParameter=backupexecerrorcat[*],C:\Programme\zabbix\backupexeccheck.cmd Backupjob-$1
UserParameter=backupexecerrorinfo[*],C:\Programme\zabbix\backupexeccheck.cmd Backupjob-$1
    Last step is zabbix-items.
    Sorry, but my template is not ready now (triggers missing), so I will present you the items directly in text here:

    we need 7 Items
    - all items Zabbix Agent / Character / Update interval 10800 (every 3 hours) / history 30 days / trends 60 days
    - all the same name: BackupExec Job-$1
    - the keys: backupexecname[Name],
    backupexecresult[Result], backupexecstart[Start], backupexecend[Ende], backupexecerror[Error], backupexecerrorcat[Error-Category], backupexecerrorinfo[Error-Info]
    - for backupexecresult[Result] you need a map, that looks like this (0->success, 1->failed, 2->aborted, X->unknown)


    Well, we are done :-)


    I hope you enjoy the new way of monitoring Backup Exec.
    It´s a really fine way, because you don´t need Eventlog or other stuff, just concentrate on simple textfiles and getting data out of :-)

    By the way: in the same way, we monitor Acronis True Image and Trend Micro Worry-Free-Suites,...



    Kind regards,

    Markus.

      Nice 1,

      can you put the XML for TrendMicro into the wiki?

          Hi!

          OK, please don´t get me wrong, but our scripts are really hard work. So I just wanted to give the community a peace of "how-to", not the whole cake,...

          You find all you need in our script to monitor Trend Micro, too. All you need is to cut and grep the right infos out of the ofcscan.ini.


          Back to Backup Exec.
          I just modified our mainscript a little.

          Here is the actual release:

          Code:
          @echo off

set logs=C:\Programme\Symantec\Backup Exec\Data
