Template and scripts for monitoring bareos via API

That solution uses API to gather metrics from bareos, all you need to configure on bareos-dir side is a profile and user for monitoring (check examples bareos-dir.d/console/zabbix.conf and bareos-dir.d/profile/monitoring.conf)

Features

• Gather data via API
• LLD discovery for active jobs

Metrics & triggers

• Last job's status & size, job estimate size
• Bareos-dir health (via director's time metric)
• SQL connectivity (via total jobs metric)

Requirements

• python 3
• python-bareos module

Installation

1. Configure bareos's profile and user for monitoring (check examples)
2. Install python-bareos module (it can be found in official repository since v18 or in pip)
3. Create config at zabbix_bareos.yml, set host, user and password:

host=bareos-dir.example.org
user=zabbix
password=ChangeMe

4. Run bareos.discovery.py to be sure that all was configured correctly (you should get valid JSON)
5. Put scripts in zabbix-agent scripts dir & set correct permissions
6. Put userparameter_bareos.conf in zabbix_agentd.d dir and restart agent
7. Import value maps
8. Import template
9. Assign template on host
