You want an event handler. I haven't tried running something to fix
anything, but I do send events to a database which works great. It let
me create a different status page for the NOC, which is great to see up
and running on the wall monitor.

(From the doc...)
Event handlers are optional commands that are executed whenever a host
or service state change occurs. An obvious use for event handlers
(especially with services) is the ability for Nagios to proactively fix
problems before anyone is notified. Another potential use for event
handlers might be to log service or host events to an external database.
