Thread: Is there a plugin/script for nagios that monitors pitr being up to djavascript:;ate?

Is there a plugin/script for nagios that monitors pitr being up to djavascript:;ate?

From

Date:
Is the a plugin or script that will allow pitr to be monitored and trigger an alarm when the pitr master/slave databases
get out of sync?

The reason I'm asking, I have had one or four of pitr'd slaves get out of sync twice?
Not sure why, it may have something to do with rsync on (wal log txfr), but not the point.

Any help would be appreciated...

PITRTools has a built-in Nagios notification system for pitr monitoring.
Basically it uses nsca+nagios+passive check feature. You may want to use
it, or use the logic in it:

Hi Devrim,

It's Escaping me where nagios is in the listing? I'm probably way off but more specifically if you could please?

See cmd_archiver.ini file, mainly notify_ok, notify_warning and
notify_critical parameters. Using nsca+nagios, you can send passive
check results to nagios. We have done it several times.
