Advice on Plugin Development

[Eli Stair]

If you write your event handler in Perl, then you can just use HTTP::Request POST to handle the transaction that way, it's nice and clean.  If you want to do it in shell you can pipe your http transactions through nc.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Advice on Plugin Development
 
Hi there,

I need a plugin for Nagios that reboots an external server under certain 
circumstances (no ping response).

There is no "direct connection" between the machine that Nagios runs on 
and the monitored server, so the reboot needs to be initiated via HTTPS 
with several POST parameters, i.e. a "simple" web form.

I've been using Nagios for quite some time now, but I'm not sure if this 
can be realized with a plugin or what other approaches are possible.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Nick
