Check MK Plugin to check Proxmox VM guest (QEMU) backups

Installation

On the Monitoring Server where Check_mk is installed:

For a detailed description how to work with mkp's goto https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/de/mkps.html.

Short tasks

1. copy the XXXXXX.mkp (see dist folder) to your Check_mk server into the /tmp folder.
2. su - <SITE_NAME> (mkp has to be installed on every site you are running!)
3. mkp install /tmp/XXXXXX.mkp (replace XXXXXX with the filename downloaded)
4. Check if installation worked

SITEUSER@monitoring01:/opt/omd# find . -name '*proxmox_qemu_*'
./sites/XXXX/local/share/check_mk/checks/proxmox_qemu_backup
./sites/XXXX/local/share/check_mk/checkman/proxmox_qemu_backup
./sites/XXXX/local/share/check_mk/web/plugins/wato/check_parameters_proxmox_qemu_backup.py
./sites/XXXX/local/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/proxmox_qemu_backup

5. Goto your Check_mk webinterface. Open "Service Rules" and search for proxmox.

On the Proxmox Server (NOT THE CHECK_MK SERVER!):

1. Copy the plugin script check_mk/agents/plugins/proxmox_qemu_backup into /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/
2. chmod 755 /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/proxmox_qemu_backup
3. Execute the script: /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/proxmox_qemu_backup. If everythings works the output should look like this

root@pve:/usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins# ./proxmox_qemu_backup
<<<proxmox_qemu_backup>>>
