Reliable Backup & Sync Execution Validation (Log-Driven)
Reliable Backup & Sync Execution Validation (Log-Driven) This workflow monitors filesystem sync and backup jobs by validating their execution logs, not by running or inspecting the jobs themselves. After purchase, you will receive a complete package including: workflow.json** – ready to be imported into n8n Shell script templates (.sh)** – reference sync job templates designed to generate structured logs fully compatible with the workflow Complete setup documentation** – step-by-step guide covering configuration, deployment, and operational requirements How it works (high level) Sync jobs are executed externally using standardized shell templates: rsync_job-Template.sh rclone_job-Template.sh Each job produces one deterministic log file per run Logs are uploaded daily to Google Cloud Storage This workflow runs on a schedule and: Verifies that all expected logs exist for the day (UTC) Optionally inspects their contents Sends alerts if logs are missing or report failures Key design principles Log-driven monitoring** (evidence-based, not assumption-based) One job = one log = one source of truth** No SSH, no server access, no execution coupling** Safe to run in untrusted or restricted environments Logging contract (required) Each log file must contain the following lifecycle events, in order: event=START event=RSYNC_END or event=RCLONE_END event=SUMMARY event=END If the END event is missing, the job is considered failed or interrupted. Configuration Expected jobs and log filenames are defined in sync-jobs.json. This workflow only validates presence and state of logs — it never assumes job success.
