The check uses information provided by the wrapper program mk-job. This
program is shipped with the linux agent and installed to /usr/bin.
mk-job is a wrapper which is called instead of the program. For
example, if you have a command line nightly-backup >/dev/null which gets
executed by a cronjob every night, you can change the command line to
mk-job backup nightly-backup >/dev/null to let mk-job collect information
about the job during runtime. In this expression, the string backup is
the identifier of the job to be executed. It must be a unique identifier
for this job on each host. When the job is finished, mk-job writes the
collected data to /var/lib/check_mk_agent/job/. The agent sends all these data to the Checkmk server.
The check is CRITICAL if the exit code of the job is not 0, or if warning or critical limits for the job age have been reached. Other mappings of exit code to check state can be defined in the check parameters.
Limits can be configured with WATO.
This check is also cluster-aware and worst or best state is configurable. Default is worst state.
Item
The identifier of the job defined by the first argument to {mk-job}.
Discovery
One service is created for each job.
