Critical backup failure alerts

[Tekkali]

Hi All

Netbackup 7.5 / Solaris box

I need to get critical backup failures alerts script through bpstart.notify script.

Please suggest..

bpend may actually be more successful ... If you look at the template file (in goodies dir I think) you will see NBU passes various vaules: $1 $2 $3 $4 and $5 The script shows what they are, one is the client name, another the policy name and one the exit status eg If you make a blank script, with the correct name that just contains: echo $1 echo $2 etc ... it will print out the values when the script ends. If the exit status is non zero, then you just alert on this.

# This script is called by NetBackup when bpbkar is finished doing a
# backup on the client. It is also called after backing up the files
# for a user directed archive, but before the files are deleted.
#
# This script:
#       receives 5 parameters: CLIENTNAME POLICYNAME SCHEDNAME SCHEDTYPE STATUS
#       must be executable by the root user
#       should exit with 0 upon successful completion
#
# If this script will not complete within a few seconds, you should set

# You should also be aware that the time taken by this script will slow
# down other backups that are waiting for this client to complete.
#
# This script should be installed with mode 555 so that user directed
# backups and archives will be able to execute this script.
#
# CAUTION:  writing anything to stdout or stderr will cause backup problems

[mph999]

the script above is only an example, none of if it is actually needed.  The only requirement for bpend notify scripts is that it has the correct name.

The above does show the paramateres available.

#         CLIENT           - the client hostname
#         POLICY           - the policy label
#         SCHEDULE         - the schedule label
#         SCHEDULE_TYPE    - the type of schedule:  FULL INCR UBAK UARC
#         STATUS           - the backup status for this job
#         STREAM           - the backup stream number for this job
#         DONE_TRYING      - 0=will retry, 1=done, will not retry.

therefore, 

a script that contains only:

echo "Client = $1" >/tmp/$1_log.txt
echo "Policy = $2" >>/tmp/$1_log.txt
echo "Schedule = $3" >>/tmp/$1_log.txt
echo "Status = $5" >>/tmp/$1_log.txt

Is a start ...

And produces this output when a job finishes in a file called /tmp/<client>_log.txt

Client = womble
Policy = womble_sp1
Schedule = full
Status = 0

[Tekkali]

above script gives only one policy or one client status provided. I need multiple critical policies schedule or Manuval backups status at a time.

above I provided

more /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backup_exit_notify. in that created one file in that mentioned all critical polices and once backups completed output will save in singe file.

date=`date`
cat /usr/openv/netbackup/scripts/Report/critical_policy_list |grep -i $2
if [[ $? -eq 0  && $5 -gt 1 && $5 -ne 150 ]];then
echo "Backup failed for $2" >>/usr/openv/netbackup/scripts/Report/Critical_Backup_Failures
fi
# cat $OUTF | mail -s "NetBackup backup exit" someone_who_cares

exit 0

Please check and suggest ....

Have you tried the script, does it work ? I'm not logged on to any servers at the moment and can't until later as I don't have my laptop with me.

[jim_dalton]

Theres potentially a lot of drudgery there unless theres only a handful of hosts/policies...why not use opscenter?Thats one of its many roles and its a zero cost option.
