Resource Category

There are separate resources for each of the Bacula components, Director, File daemon, and the Storage daemon.

Although these resources can be obtained dynamically from the Director or any other component with the show command, the examples given below are obtained by executing the appropriate Bacula json program that reads the Bacula configuration file and returns the JSON output shown below. The programs are named bdirjson, bfdjson, and bsdjson. When no options are given to each of those programs they simply list the full Bacula conf file in JSON format. They also have a series of options that permit obtaining individual resources.

Please note that if you have updated the bacula-dir.conf file, but have not restarted the Director or done a reload command, the information that is returned to you will not correspond to that which the Director is using. Likewise if you have update bacula-fd.conf or bacula-sd.conf and have not restarted the appropriate File daemon or Storage daemon, the information you get from the REST-API will not correspond to what the particular daemon is using.
