And what I've come up with isn't pretty, to say the least. It's slow.. But for those of you who want to hack on this, maybe improve it, go for it... This little _PHP_ app parses the nagios.log file, and reports on all services that are _not_ in a status of UP or OK. I'm sure there's a perl module out there that can do it, but for some reason, I can't write perl to save my life. :) Tack on ?oktoo=true to the URL, and it'll report on all services (not recommended, we have over 800 services, which means we have over 800 RSS items, and that's a horrible thing to do to your reader!) Edit the config.php file and set the following: $nagios['status_file'] This needs to be the full path to the status.log file Nagios spits out (e.g. /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log) $nagios['myurl'] This is the full <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://">http://</a> address to the nagios web interface. e.g. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nagios.mydomain.com/nagios/">http://nagios.mydomain.com/nagios/</a> $nagios['statcgi'] This is the full <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://">http://</a> address to the nagios status.cgi script e.g. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nagios.mydomain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi">http://nagios.mydomain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi</a> $nagios['extinfo] This is the full <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://">http://</a> address to the nagios extinfo.cgi script e.g. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nagios.mydomain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi">http://nagios.mydomain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi</a> Just drop this into the Nagios cgi-bin/ directory. Note this is a giant, ugly HACK that I put together, no warranties express or implied, blah blah blah, may break systems, cause floods and other major disasters, blah blah.. No support, you know the drill. Hack it up as needed. It ought to give someone a start at least... Oh, and I wrote this to work with 1.2, not 2.x, since I don't have a 2.x status file to work with. Sorry, no support for DB's, though it could be done (and would probably be faster). -Jeff </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">From: <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:brianmas@highstream.net"><brianmas@highstream.net></a> Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 14:32:31 -0500 To: <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net"><nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net></a> Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Alert suggestion: RSS Quoting Marcel Smeets <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:mpgsmeets@gmail.com"><mpgsmeets@gmail.com></a>: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Mmm, the second time someone tells it is simple to make a notification script for this.
