All are at different locations (each server is at a different site so not using PBS.
Good idea. We have this with my check above, but only for selected VMs. The program takes a VM ID and checks the PBS for a backup, converts the last timestamp to epoch and compare with current epoch. Everything is running on the PBS itself and it provides its findings via NRPE for Icinga.
I hacked something together that will just display the stuff. You need to write a bit around to get an actual check:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from proxmoxer import ProxmoxAPI
import time
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
pve = ProxmoxAPI(
"proxmox",
user="monitoring@pve",
token_name="pbs" ,
token_value="<redacted>",
verify_ssl=False
)
vmids = {}
for pve_node in pve.nodes.get():
for container in pve.nodes(pve_node['node']).lxc.get():
vmids[container['vmid']]=container['name']
for vm in pve.nodes(pve_node["node"]).qemu.get():
vmids[vm['vmid']]=vm['name']
pbs = ProxmoxAPI(
"pbs",
service="PBS",
user="monitoring@pbs",
token_name="pbs" ,
token_value="<redacted>",
verify_ssl=False
)
# datastore name on PBS
datastore = "datastore"
for vm in vmids:
backup = pbs(f"admin/datastore/{datastore}/snapshots/?backup-id={vm}").get()
backups = len(backup)
if backups == 0:
print(f"{vm} no backup present")
else:
sorted_list = sorted(backup, key=lambda x: x["backup-time"])
ts = sorted_list[-1]["backup-time"]
ago = datetime.now() - datetime.fromtimestamp(ts)
if ago < timedelta(hours=24):
print(f"{vm} was backed up less than 24h ago ({ago})")
else:
print(f"{vm} needs a new backup - {ago}")Nice work. It's good to see the community interaction on this forum.
Was a bit of a small problem to try to solve with Python. Started to get deeper into it.
Was the first one that google found. Is there something better? Using the API wrapper was very simple and straight forward to use.
I can't tell you - but Proxmox themselves maintain (rely heavily on) Perl. But they do provide a list of community clients for Python (& others) here.
Great!
I have a user with Audit permissions on both sides.
Don't use that on my test machine here, so I cannot tell.
Yeah, I've seen that list and use most of then in other languages.
