Nagios alert via Twitter - authorization issue

[Randal, Phil]

I haven't tested this myself yet, but take a look at this solution which uses OAuth authentication:

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios alert via Twitter - authorization issue


  Hello everyone! Before I attempt to re-invent the wheel with getting curl:// command lines to authenticate to the new twitter API, has anyone solved it?

I'm in the middle of moving part of our network to our new building and just noticed I don't have any tweet-ed alerts since they put the security on the API.

My command looks like this in command.cfg:

define command {
         command_name    host-notify-by-twitter
         command_line    /usr/bin/curl --basic --user "<user:password>" 
--data-ascii "status=[Nagios] $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$ at $SHORTDATETIME$" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json >> /dev/null }

Thanks everyone!
