- bin/check-restic-snapshot.rb
Checks the presence and the age of the latest restic backup snapshot.
By default it expects the restic binary to be installed at /usr/bin/restic. Repository location and password are passed into the check
through the environment variables $RESTIC_REPOSITORY and $RESTIC_PASSWORD_FILE. Please check the
restic documentation for details.
This example checks the repository configured through the environment variables mentioned before. It warns if the last backup is older than 1 day + 1 hour, and becomes critical after 2 days + 1 hour:
check-restic-snapshot.rb -w 90000 -c 176400
If your restic binary is in a different location and/or you prefer to pass repository location and password via parameters, use the -p
option to specify how the restic binary is invoked:
check-restic-snapshot.rb -w 90000 -c 176400 -p '/opt/bin/restic -r /mnt/backups -p /etc/restic/password'
The --missing-status allows you to specify the check's result if no backup has been created so far (defaults to critical).
check-restic-snapshot.rb -w 90000 -c 176400 --missing-status warning
