XML-RPC/SOAP and ContactGroups

[Sam Stickland]

Hi,

I'm looking to incorporate nagios into a couple of different applications (one of them web-based), so ideally I need an easy way to access the nagios state information.

I've found the following

NagiosWS: http://www.i-xs.de/nagiosws/
Nagios XML Engine: http://nxe.sourceforge.net/

They both appear to have roughly the same functionality, and are both pretty easy to use. However, they only provide access to the entire nagios state as a whole - neither of them has any notion of contacts or contact_groups.

While it would be very useful for remote clients to be able to authenicate and only retrieve state information for the specified contact, I appreciate that's it's a lot of work. So, what I could get by with in the intern is some kind of parser for the nagios configuration files so I can pull out the hosts/host_groups that apply to the contact, and then just query that state information.

Does such a beast exist?

Sam
