Crashes when monitoring server is in different timezone than urbackup server about check_mk-urbackup-check HOT 4 CLOSED

Thats realy a hard one.
I didn't found a real solution for this problem. Timezone calculations are realy evil :)

Do you have an idea?

from check_mk-urbackup-check.

I've created a timezone arware version.
If the client and the check-mk server are in differenz timezones, the check-mk servers timezone is used for rendering the time.

e.g.
Client (timezone offset +0200) sends:
XXXXXX;;;;;-;;;;;False;;;;;2023-07-14_23:05+0200;;;;;True

The check-mk server (timezone UTC) converts it to
last imagebackup: Jul 14 2023 21:05:00 (Age: 9 hours 35 minutes warn/crit at 9 days 0 hours/10 days 0 hours)

Please download the mkp version 1.2.4 from the dist folder.

It also necessary to place the new urbackup_check script in the /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins folder, because the script now provides the timezone offset.

Please give me feedback if it works! :)

sorry I didn't reply you before. I've got family visiting for some weeks and I'm trying, quite unsuccessfully, to somehow merge family and work life.
and yes. either using UTC for everything or otherwise using "timezoned" variables is the way to go.
I'll test it next week.

i've tested it for a few days, and so far I didn't get any error messages. So it seems to be working. THanks a lot :-).
