Backup Central

Hi,

I'm trying to make the snmp subagent from
http://www.bayour.com/Softwares/bacula-snmp/ work.
If I get it to work I could write a small tiny Nagios Check for it
like the already included Cacti template.

This works by connecting to the bacula database using Perl DBD:MySQL
which I installed.
I'm getting an error that says the following (which I translate to
"Hey user, I didn't read my config")

[root < at > waxu0604 bacula-snmp-1.4]# ./bacula-snmp-stats.pl
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
./bacula-snmp-stats.pl line 352.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
./bacula-snmp-stats.pl line 352.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
./bacula-snmp-stats.pl line 352.
Can't connect to data source database=:host=, no database driver
specified and DBI_DSN env var not set at ./bacula-snmp-stats.pl line
358

This is the config file in /etc/bacula
[root < at > waxu0604 bacula]# cat .conn_details
# Optional arguments
# DEBUG=4
# DEBUG_FILE=/var/log/bacula-snmp-stats.log
# IGNORE_INDEX=1
#
# Required options
# Create different user for this reporter!
USERNAME="baculadir"
PASSWORD="changed"
DB=bacula
HOST="127.0.0.1"
CATALOG=MyCatalog

The connect string just must be wrong, on the other hand it really
seems to just not read anything at all.

Does any of you have it working?
Can you let me know if that config looks right?

Greetings,
Florian

Get rid of all of the comments, quotes and whitespace from the config file.

Thanks Martin!

My perl-speaking friend came up with the same advice.
I also found bacula-snmp chocked on some "extra" fields of the media status.
We might make a patch for that.

By the way - Do you have any idea why so few people use this?
Because, in theory this is the best way reporting could be and I would
feel a little less out of place with the rest of humanity if I
understood why not everything is using this to automate their
reporting

I've also used bweb and bacula-web in earlier days, but SNMP feels
more natural to me than "human looking at things"

Florian
