I remember that I have done it querying mysql db and using ndo for nagios. <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 11:25 AM, Kelly Jones <<a href="mailto:kelly.terry.jones@gmail.com">kelly.terry.jones@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Nagios has a great web interface. I sometimes want the information from that interface in command-line format for other scripts. Does nagios have command-line tools that will: % Return all the children/descendants of machine X. % Return all services being tested on machine X. % Return all services in servicegroup X. etc...? I realize /var/spool/nagios/objects.cache has all this info (and status.dat even has the current status), and my current hack is to parse that file, but is there an easier/better way to get this info? -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.
