Github Backup monitoring

[Vaibhav.Nitturkar]

Hi,

I want to monitor backup of onpremise Github Enterprise using backup-util

https://github.com/github/backup-utils

I want to use AppD monitoring extension using scripts

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Build+a+Monitoring+Extension+Using+Scripts

Can someone provide me sample script already created for monitoring extension using scripts.

Hi Vaibhav,

You can use the example listed here. The script here gets some values, and returns them following the requirements listed in the documentation so that they can be picked up by the Machine Agent and sent to the controller. You can modify this script to meet your requirements. The documentation has all the details that you would need to create/modify that script. 

Please let us know if you have any other questions regarding this.

Thanks,

Bhuvnesh

Hi Bhuvnesh,

My check_backup.sh echo's below

echo "name=GHEBackup|backupStatus,value="$backupStatus
echo "name=GHEBackup|backupDuration,value="$backupDuration

And my monitor.xml does a periodic run of the my script. After restarting agent, I see in monitor-agent.log that my script runs periodically. But in metric browser I dont see the custom metrics yet. Please point where if I am wrong.

<monitor-run-task>

<execution-style>periodic</execution-style>

<execution-frequency-in-seconds>60</execution-frequency-in-seconds>

<name>Run</name>

<type>executable</type>

<task-arguments>

</task-arguments>

<executable-task>

<type>file</type>

<file os-type="linux">check_backup.sh</file>

</executable-task>

</monitor-run-task>

Hi Vaibhav,

Please make sure that your metrics start with Custom Metrics in the beginning, and the values return a numerical value.

name="Custom Metrics|GHEBackup|backupStatus,value="$backupStatus
name="Custom Metrics|GHEBackup|backupDuration,value="$backupDuration

Thanks,
