Is it possible to obtain the status of Bacula backup system Director in some parseable format?
It looks like the human-readable representation (one you can see when using bacula-console) is formed on the director side during the TCP control connection.
You can also pull directly from the database, depending on your needs.
Example:
mysql> select JobId, Name, JobStatus from Job ORDER BY JobId DESC Limit 10;
+--------+-------------------------------------+-----------+
| JobId | Name | JobStatus |
