I put restart_service (attached) in /etc/nagios/eventhandlers. It's a
generic service restart script, so can be used for anything including
bbstored and bbackupd.

In misccommands.cfg I have:

define command {
  command_name restart_service
  command_line $USER6$/restart_service "$SERVICESTATE$" "$STATETYPE$"
"$SERVICEATTEMPT$" "$SERVICEDESC$" >> /var/log/nagios/event_handler.log =
2>&1
}

You'll need to make sure $USER6$ is set for the restart_service script
location, or hard-code it.

I then have the following in services.cfg:

define service {
  use                           generic-service
  host_name                     hordein
  service_description           bbackupd
  check_command                 check_service!bbackupd
  event_handler                 restart_service
}

define service {
  use                           generic-service
  host_name                     hordein
  service_description           bbstored
  check_command                 check_service!bbstored
  event_handler                 restart_service
}

You'll need a suitable generic-service set up.

If you want to get a central machine to monitor remote ones then use the
same script on the remote machine and set up nrpe. If you need help with
that then I think the nagios lists would be more appropriate.

One day I'll write one that uses bbackupquery to log in and check the =
store
out, free space etc.

This is all on Fedora Core. YMMV.

Cheers,

Martin.
