Werk #9367: Backup: Deleting a backup job now deletes state files

Component Firmware
Title Backup: Deleting a backup job now deletes state files
Date Aug 28, 2018
Appliance Version 1.4.3
Level Trivial Change
Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

When a backup job that has previously been executed is deleted, it left it's last state file in place. This resulted in Check_MK services monitoring this never changing state.

To remove state files of already deleted jobs, you can safely delete the file at /omd/sites/[SITE]/var/check_mk/backup/[JOB].state for site backup jobs and /var/lib/mkbackup/[JOB].state for appliance system backup jobs.

After deleting this file, you can execute a service discovery on your monitoring server to remove the vanished backup check.
