It just occured to me, that it would be useful to have a graph of some sort
which would display the time since backup of all hosts. this way we could
readily identify if large numbers of hosts were not being backed up in a
timely manner.
ideally, a graph like that would look something like:
<1day | >1day
# |
# |
# |
# |
# |
-------------
20hosts 0hosts
100% 0%
However, if some hosts were delayed more than a day, we might see things
like:
<1day | 2days | 3days | 4days
| | |
| | |
# | | |
# | # | |
# | # | # | #
----------------------------
12hosts 4hosts 3hosts 1host
60% 20% 15% 5%
Combined with other graphs that represent which machines took longest to
back up, this would allow admins to more readily identify which hosts are
causing delays in backups. (and possibly move them to another backup
server).
I'm sure there's a OSS graphing tool that does this; we just need to tie it
into backuppc somehow. (provide output in the appropriate form?)
