    Description

    This alert indicates whether the backup or recovery service is inactive. It is triggered when the backup and recovery module stops working.

    Principle

    OCP-Server runs the following commands by using the OCP-Agent to check the status of the backup or recovery service.

    cd /home/admin/oceanbase && bash ./bin/agent.sh exist_restore
    cd /home/admin/oceanbase && bash ./bin/agent.sh exist_backup
    

    The return value 1 indicates that the service is active. Otherwise, the alert is triggered.

    • Overview: ${alarm_target} ${alarm_name}

    • Details: Host: ${host}, Alert: The backup or recovery service ${agent_type} is inactive.

    • Overview example: svr_ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The backup or recovery service is inactive.

    • Details example: Host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Alert: The backup or recovery service Backup-1 is inactive.

    ${alarm_target} follows the svr_ip=xxxxxx format.

    • ob_cluster indicates the name of the cluster that generated the alert.

    • svr_ip indicates the IP address of the OBServer of the cluster that generated the alert.

    Impact on the system

    The corresponding cluster cannot be backed up.

    Possible causes

    The backup and recovery module malfunctions or a configuration error occurs.

    Suggested solution

    Check the logs of the backup and recovery module to locate the cause of the failure.

    The logs include agentserver.log and agentrestore.log, and are located under: /home/admin/oceanbase/log of the server where the backup and recovery services are run.
