status-txt: easier for other applications/services to use Nagios data

[Wenhua Zhang]

Hi all,
Recently, we need a API or application to get the nagios data as other
easily readable format such as XML, JSON or plain text instead of the
default HTML.
status-txt is implemented to duplicate the output of status.cgi in
plain text to achieve this goal, making it easier for other
applications/services to use Nagios data.

Compile status-txt.c to create status-txt.cgi, this cgi accepts
exactly the same URL parameters that status.cgi accepts, and filters
its output appropriately.
In this version, it accepts almost all the arguments passed in the URL
which status.cgi accepts except "style", "navbarsearch", "columns" and
"noheader".
And we will add more functionalities in the next version.

The status-txt.cgi will returns service data that appears in the
"status" table of status.cgi as "host_ip   host_status
[service:service_status;......]", not includes the top portion of the
page, eg:
   196.0.0.1      UP    HTTP_80:OK;
   196.0.0.2      UP    DB_PORT_3306:OK;DB_PORT_3307:OK;
And you can use some arguments to filter its output, such as
"hostgroup", "servicegroup", "host" and so on.

The attachment is the source code, if you have any ideas about it,
please feel free to let me know.
You can also get the source code from github
"https://github.com/shiziwen/nagios-status2txt".


Thanks,
Best Wishes,
Wenhua
