Nagios Support Forum

I based my analysis on this link: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/extcommands.html When Does Nagios Check For External Commands? - At regular intervals specified by the command_check_interval option in the main configuration file (default 60 seconds) - Immediately after event handlers are exe...

The thing is: I already have a Python script polling data from my API and posting results in the Nagios dashboard, and for this I can set the frequency of execution of my script in Nagios. Basically this is a PULL method from the Nagios perspective. I was looking into the external-command/passive pi...

So I had a look at the Nagios command pipe and passive checks, and they look pretty similar. Passive checks sounds like a best effort service, while the command pipe can be given more promptness by increasing the frequency of checking. Am i correct?

Thanks!

So in case I use a log server, let's say Heroku, what would be the best way to transfer this information into NagiosXI ? Do I need to use a script (e.g. Python) to periodically sample the data from the Heroku logs, or is there an alternative way? Last question: do you have a link where all the optio...

Hi Sreinhardt, you got the point, that's exactly what I am trying to achieve: "To summarize, you have XI and heroku installed on the same machine. Heroku gets POST web requests, and you would like to forward the contents of these requests to nagios?" >>>>>>>>> but I want to do that avoidin...

Hi Nagioers, ;) I'd like to integrate Nagios with my own notification mechanism based on HTTP POST requests. I installed Heroku on the NagiosXI Server, and I am correctly receiving notification in Heroku via HTTP callbacks. The mechanisms is basically a webhook: POST requests are received by Heroku ...

Thanks, that works!

You can close this thread if you wish.

it seems to be working, that's great! I'd like to understand the logic behind your solution, so do you have a link pointing to some explanations on how the command line parameters (and the meta carachter '!') are used in the comman{} and service{} configs?

Thanks again!

yes it did, please close. Thanks again.

Thanks Abrist, much appreciated!
