Big Brother migration to Nagios

[Aaron K. Moore]

When I migrated us from BB to Nagios I converted all of my custom
service checks to passive Nagios checks that submitted their results via
send_nsca to the Nagios server.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Big Brother migration to Nagios

Hello, everyone...

We are currently working to migrate some Big Brother monitored hosts to
Nagios.  To do this, in the interim, I can set up passive Services with
a
freshness check that returns 'unknown', and then get the BigBrother
status
notifications to go to Nagios instead.

What I need is a daemon, a bit like NSCA, that receives BigBrother
notifications on port 1984 and then sends the appropriate status change
to
the Nagios command socket.

Has anyone written one of those yet, or should I go ahead and do it?

In the long term, we'll get pNSclient and NRPE on the hosts, but since
those
are active checks and BB is passive it will require firewall changes ate
which is a long and tedious process.  In the interim, using the BB agent
with Nagios is the best way to go.
