description:
 This check monitors the most recent file-based (VAMI) backup job of a
 VMware vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA). The data is retrieved by the
 special agent {agent_vcsa_health} from the appliance REST API.

 The state is {CRIT} if the last backup job failed and the age of the
 last completed backup is checked against configurable levels via the
 ruleset "VCSA file-based backup". The default levels are 26 hours
 {WARN} and 50 hours {CRIT}, matching a daily backup schedule.

discovery:
 One service is created if at least one backup job is reported by the
 appliance. Appliances without a configured file-based backup do not
 get this service.
