Check IML backup server

Script: check_iml_backup_server

This check is for IML Backup server. This check executes the script ‘storage_helper.sh’ to get thebackup status.

see https://os-docs.iml.unibe.ch/iml-backup-server/

Requirements

There can be a permission issue to reach the storage-helper script or while reading the backup target dirs. On our servers the backup target is using a user imlbackup. To give access to its resources we added the group “imlbackup” for icinga

$ id icingaclient
uid=1041(icingaclient) gid=1041(icingaclient) groups=1041(icingaclient),1031(imlbackup)
                                                                             ^
                                                                             |
                                additional group for icinga client user -----+
