Introduction

backmon monitors backup files inside filesystems and object storages. Each backup file definition can be exported into a Prometheus-compatible format. You can use tools like Alertmanager to notify the SRE team if a backup is missing or some threshold has been missed. A threshold could be e.g. that the filesize of the backup file is too small.
